But the boy sees _him_, and bawls to his mother: "Mamma! mamma! that Monsieur du Luxembourg!--you know him--the one you said was such a great friend to papa--he has gone by without saluting! I suppose the reason is, he don't know how to behave." Another picture presents to view a little girl seated on a garden bench eating nuts, and talking to a young man: "The rose which you gave to mamma?" "Yes, yes." "The one you nearly broke your neck in getting? Let me see. Oh, my cousin Nat stuck it in the tail of Matthew's donkey. How mamma did laugh! Got any more nuts?" The same appalling girl imparts a family secret to her tutor: "Mamma wrote to M. Prosper, and papa read the letter. Oh, wasn't papa angry, though! And all because she had spelled a word wrong." A mother hearing a little girl say the catechism is a subject which one would suppose was not available for the purposes of a Gavarni, but he finds even that suggestive. "Come, now, pay attention. What must we do when we have sinned [_péché_]?" To which the terrible child replies, playing unconsciously upon the word _péché_ (sinned), which does not differ in sound from _pêché_ (fished), "When we have _pêché_? Wait a moment. Oh! we go back to the White House with all the fish in the basket, which my nurse eats with Landerneau. He is a big soldier who has white marks upon his sleeve. And I eat _my_ share, let me tell you!" It is thus that the first caricaturist of France "utilized" the innocence of childhood when Louis Philippe was King of the French.

"With Saladin, the trumpeter, who has so far forgotten himself as to call me a _moucheron_" (little fly).--From _Messieurs nos Fils et Mesdemoiselles nos Filles_, by Randon, Paris.]
