Passepartout therefore decided to wait several hours; and, as he was sauntering along, it occurred to him that he would seem rather too well dressed for a wandering artist. The idea struck him to change his garments for clothes more in harmony with his project; by which he might also get a little money to satisfy the immediate cravings of hunger.
Passepartout se décida donc à attendre quelques heures ; mais, tout en cheminant, il fit cette réflexion qu'il semblerait trop bien vêtu pour un artiste ambulant, et l'idée lui vint alors d'échanger ses vêtements contre une défroque plus en harmonie avec sa position.
