“Armchairs. Treacherous divinities, incapable of keeping a secret. Every armchair that I know has betrayed me. *Golaud occupies armchairs only by stealth. The moment he hears his master’s step, he hastily quits the forbidden seat, but unfortunately a warm hollow invariably denounces his disobedience to orders. What a puzzle for Monsier Poire!”
