Saperlotte!...que je ma femme ait , 1844. 'Saperlotte!...que je voudrais donc que ma femme ait fini d'improviser son quatrain sur les beautés de la nature dans la plaine St. ! nous marchons toujours, mais ses vers n'avencent pas!...'. Husband: 'Good heavens!...how I wish my wife would finish improvising her quatrain on the beauties of nature in La Plaine ! we are still walking, but her verses are not advancing!...'.

Series: Les Bas-blues (The Bluestockings), no. 32; Periodical: Le Charivari, 6 July 1844.
