Original Text:
Le charbonnier aime être (est maître) chez lui.
Chache peux; mais il aime encore mieux être chez le marchand de vin, pas vrai Chabriac?

Translation:
The coalman likes to keep to himself (he is master of himself).
That may be so.... but he likes even better to be at the wine merchants', right, Chabriac?
