LE RAVAGEUR.
En v'là, une position sociale! ramasser des épingles, des vieux clous........ et on nous appelle ravageurs: dire qui en a qui font le métier si grand, qui ravagent le budget, et qui ont des appointements!

Translation:
THE MUD LARK.
What a social position: to gather pins, old nails .... and people call us the mud larks of Paris brooks. But let's be honest, who is it that made this business so big? it's those who ravage the budget and draw fat salaries!
