Original Text:
- Entrez Messieurs ... voici de magnifiques paletots que je vends à perte.... je les fais confectionnés pour donner de l'occupation aux pauvres prisonniers qui travaillent dans leur pauvre cellule avec leurs pauvres aiguilles...
- Merci!.. ils doivent n'avoir fait que de bien pauvre besogne!...

Translation:
- Come on in, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am offering these splendid overcoats far below price.... I have had them made just in order to keep our poor prisoners occupied, to work in their poor little cells with their poor neddles....
- No thank you.... I think they probably have produced something quite poor.
