Original Text:
- Est-ce le garçon..... faut-il lui demander une assiette?...
- Ma foi, je ne te le conseille pas..... je crois plutôt que c'est un notaire...... on vient de le chercher pour un dineur qui se sera cru empoisonné et qui aura voulu faire son testament au dessert.

Translation:
- Is this the waiter... do you think I can ask him for a plate?
- Really, I can't recommend that... I think he is probably a notary... They have probably called him in to see a guest who fears having been poisoned and who wants to draw up his last will during desert.
