Summary:
Marie Beg araok, l’arrogante, attire tout le monde pour écouter ses commérages. Présidant ce conseil de sans-culottes, elle décrie les gens du pays.
Princesse de la paresse, comtesse de la saleté, elle cherchera, sitôt un mariage annoncé, le moyen que l’affaire tourne court.
Puis de critiquer les gens de la noce. Et à la naissance du premier enfant, de dire : – « Comment ? Il y a déjà neuf mois ».
