But while I was speaking, he was imitating in a killingly funny way the positions of the persons I was naming. BUT WHILE I WAS SPEAKING HE WAS IMITATING IN A KILLINGLY FUNNY WAY THE POSITIONS OF THE PERSONS I WAS NAMING
re kingdom, there's only one man who walks. That's the king. All the rest take up positions. ME: The king? Isn't there more to it that that? Don't you think that, from time to time, he finds beside him a little foot, a little curl, a little nose which makes him go through a small pantomime? Whoever needs someone else is a beggar and takes up a position. The king takes up a position before his mistress and before God. He goes through the paces of his pantomime. The minister goes through the paces of prostitute, flatterer, valet, or beggar in front of his king. The crowds of ambitious people dance your positions in hundreds of ways, each more vile than the others, in front of the minister. The noble abbé in his bands of office and his long cloak goes at least once a week in front of the agent in charge of the list of benefices. My goodness, what you call the pantomime of beggars is what makes the earth go round. Everyone has his little Hus and his Bertin. HIM: That's a great consolation. IM YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN WHO WALKS THAT'S THE KING ALL THE REST TAKE UP POSITIONS ME THE KING ISN'T THERE MORE TO IT THAN THAT DON'T YOU THINK THAT FROM TIME TO TIME HE FINDS BESIDE HIM A LITTLE FOOT A LITTLE CURL A LITTLE NOSE WHICH MAKES HIM GO THROUGH A SMALL PANTOMIME WHOEVER NEEDS SOME ONE ELSE IS A BEGGAR AND TAKES UP A POSITION THE KING TAKES UP A POSITION BEFORE HIS MISTRESS AND BEFORE GOD HE GOES THROUGH THE PACES OF HIS PANTOMIME THE MINISTER GOES THROUGH THE PACES OF PROSTITUTE FLATTERER VALET OR BEGGAR IN FRONT OF HIS KING THE CROWDS OF AMBITIOUS PEOPLE DANCE YOUR POSITIONS IN HUNDREDS OF WAYS EACH MORE VILE THAN THE OTHERS IN FRONT OF THE MINISTER THE NOBLE ABBE IN HIS BANDS OF OFFICE AND HIS LONG CLOAK GOES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IN FRONT OF THE AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE LIST OF BENEFICES MY GOODNESS WHAT YOU CALL THE PANTOMIME OF BEGGARS IS WHAT MAKES THE EARTH GO ROUND EVERY ONE HAS HIS LITTLE HOO AND HIS BERTE HIM THAT'S A GREAT CONSOLATION
