Original Text:
- Ma femme m'a recommandé de lui rapporter mon portrait fait à Paris.... j'ai profité de cette vente pour acheter celui-ci....
- Mais ce n'est pas vous...... , ça ....
- Je le sais bien; je ferai retoucher la figure, ça me coûtera moins cher que de me faire faire en entier!....

Translation:
- My wife has asked me to have my portrait taken when I am in Paris... I'll profit from today's sale and I'll take this one!
- But Monsieur, this isn't you!
- I know... but it is by far cheaper to have my face retouched than to buy an entirely new one.
