LA POTICHOMANIE.
- Voyons, Adélaïde, voyons, sois raisonnable, il est temps de se coucher, il est une heure du matin!
- Adolphe... laisse-moi contempler mon ouvrage, c'est encore cent fois plus joli à la chandelle!....

Translation:
PORCELAIN COLLECTORS.
- Come on, Adelaide.... be reasonable... it's already one o'clock and time to go to bed!
- Adolphe, leave me alone... I want to admire my oeuvre a bit longer... the candlelight makes it looks a hundred times more beautiful.
