Quant au portrait, il avait été parfaitement étranger à la seconde édition, comme à la première ; et le libraire lui ayant adressé à l’archevêché, pendant sa retraite, vingt-quatre exemplaires de cette seconde édition, il avait envoyé son domestique en acheter un vingt-cinquième ; et, ayant appris par ce moyen que ce portrait se vendait trente sous, il avait envoyé cent francs comme paiement des vingt-quatre exemplaires.
As for the portrait, he had been entirely unconcerned with the second edition, as with the first; and the bookseller having sent to him, at the Archbishop's Palace, during his retreat, twenty-four copies of this second edition, he had sent his servant to buy a twenty-fifth; and, having learned in this way that the portrait was being sold for thirty soldi, he had sent a hundred francs in payment of the twenty-four copies.
