Image Not Available for Yes! My dear, it has been more than three weeks that no food entered this good man’s body!… - I prepared a good cabbage soup with bacon and some potatoes, that he loves so much. This will give him some strength. If you'd follow the diet the doctors gave him, he would soon die of hunger…

Image Not Available for Yes my uncle, my virtuous uncle, I was a spendthrift, gambler, seducer, I had many faults, in a word I was frivolous... but you're ill, very ill, the doctors have abandoned you... I've come to aid you, to fall at your feet, I'll swear... anything you like... I'll only leave you at death, my kind uncle, my so excellent uncle! Let's embrace and put an end to it. (Macaire, sole inheritor, has his dear uncle thrown into a common pit).
