The Mouffetard Street case(L'affaire de la rue Mouffetard)

A lawyer defends his client so brilliantly that this one is released at once. But if the attorney expected thanks, he can only be disappointed as his client not only does not show him his gratitude but he reprimands him bluntly as well. The thing would be surprising if one did not specify that the accused, in order to escape all the small domestic worries, WANTED to be sent to prison. As compensations, the client finally settles down at the lawyer's!
