Original Text:
L'AMI DE COLLÈGE.
Ah! cher ami, comme il est engraissé.... dans mes bras! dans mes bras! (l'instant d'après ça n'était qu'une méprise et le monsieur découvre que son ami improvisé voulait faire connaissance avec....... sa montre!)

Translation:
A HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND.
Ah, dear friend, how fat you have become... in my arms, in my arms!..... (A moment later, when the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the gentleman realizes that his friend had only improvised to make an acquaintance ... with his watch!)
