This woman evidently carries a large part of her stock in trade about with her.
gpt
Good-day, Putiphar!
human
Hail, Madame Putiphar!
gpt
Sit down, Putiphar. When I wrote you to come, I didn't know that Monsieur Dodichet, a commission merchant in sugar, would treat Boulotte and me to this impromptu feast of champagne and truffles mixed, this morning.--But that doesn't make any difference; for you're in no hurry, I take it?
human
Oh! mesdames, don't let me disturb you at all! It smells good here, and I'm in no hurry; I'll watch you eat.
gpt
Won't you take a glass of champagne with us, madame?
human
Oh! monsieur is very polite----
gpt
Accept, Putiphar, accept; nobody ever refuses a glass of champagne!
human
I am tempted----
gpt
With a biscuit in it, eh?
human
I should prefer, if it's all the same to you, the chicken wing I see on that dish.
gpt
That's all right. Draw up to the table.--Manette, a plate for Madame Putiphar.--Will you have some pâté de foie gras too?
human
You tempt me--but, really, I am ashamed of myself. Monsieur will think I'm a great glutton.
gpt
That's not a failing, madame; it's a good quality.
