Label TextThe caption translates to read:COUNTRY AMUSEMENT.
- Monsieur did not want to wait for his nephew; and Madame thought it might soon start raining, but he didn't really bother.
- What an old miser!
- Don't you worry, Mother Poirier, he'll pay dearly for that... more than the market price!
- And right she is isn't she!
