Monsieur Lheureux, in fact, went in for pawnbroking, and it was there that he had put Madame Bovary's gold chain, together with the earrings of poor old Tellier, who, at last forced to sell out, had bought a meagre store of grocery at Quincampoix, where he was dying of catarrh amongst his candles, that were less yellow than his face.
M. Lheureux, en effet, prêtait sur gages, et c’est là qu’il avait mis la chaîne en or de madame Bovary, avec les boucles d’oreilles du pauvre père Tellier, qui, enfin contraint de vendre, avait acheté à Quincampoix un maigre fonds d’épicerie, où il se mourait de son catarrhe, au milieu de ses chandelles moins jaunes que sa figure.
