– Je n’irai pas au diable ; vilain impie ! mais tout simplement au bureau de la police, qui saura de moi que vous êtes un monsignore qui a jeté le froc aux orties, et que vous ne vous appelez pas plus Joseph Bossi que moi.
"I shall not go to the devil, you impious wretch! But I will go straight away to the police office, where they shall learn from me that you are a Monsignore who has flung his cassock to the winds, and that you are no more Giuseppe Bossi than I am."
