Les beaux jours de la vie. Amour propre satisfait.

Ah! enfin!...le Moniteur a enregistré mon "très bien"... en me nommant en toutes lettres…à la bonne heure...au moins mes électeurs ne diront plus que je ne parle pas à la Chambre!

Ah! Finally!.... the "Moniteur" has printed my rating of "very good"…naming me in full. Wonderful... at least my electorate will no longer say that I never speak up in Parliament!
