Homais introduced himself; he offered his homages to madame and his respects to monsieur; said he was charmed to have been able to render them some slight service, and added with a cordial air that he had ventured to invite himself, his wife being away.
Homais úr bemutatkozott; hódolattal üdvözölte ő nagyságát, s igen barátságosan a doktor urat, elmondta, hogy nagyon örül, ha némi szolgálatot tehetett nekik, végül jókedvűen és szives hangon tudatta, hogy, a felesége nem lévén itthon, ha megengedik, bátor lesz velök ebédelni.
