So one Thursday Emma was surprised to meet Monsieur Homais in the kitchen of the "Lion d'Or," wearing a traveller's costume, that is to say, wrapped in an old cloak which no one knew he had, while he carried a valise in one hand and the foot-warmer of his establishment in the other.
Donc, un jeudi, Emma fut surprise de rencontrer, dans la cuisine du Lion d’or, M. Homais en costume de voyageur, c’est-à-dire couvert d’un vieux manteau qu’on ne lui connaissait pas, tandis qu’il portait d’une main une valise, et, de l’autre, la chancelière de son établissement.
