' 'Ah! that's it, you are so puffed up. It must be a thundering attack ofthe dropsy!' And this would continue, the poor fellow, pale and trembling, in vainendeavoring to get on his clothes, until the tormentor, with a hideouschuckle, would come out with his famous sentence: 'Ha! ha! a capitaljoke!' There was one of his tricks which appeared to me to be truly abominable. He played it upon a person reputed to be a brave man, but who wasnevertheless horribly frightened. One night, after getting sn...ugly intobed, this gentleman felt something cold and slimy along side of him, hetouched it with his foot; it seemed a round elongated body; he placed hishand upon it; it was a serpent coiled upon itself! In an ecstacy ofterror, he leaped from the bed with a cry of disgust and horror, whenGanguernet made his appearance, shaking his fat sides and roaring out:'What a capital joke!' It was an eel-skin filled with water, that hadcaused the panic. The enraged gentleman would have broken the head of thejoker, but Ganguernet throwing a pitcher of water over the sans-culottesufferer, made his escape, yelling out at the top of his voice: 'A capitaljoke!--a capital joke!' The master of the house and his guests camerunning in at the outcry, and with much difficulty succeeded in pacifyingthe mystified individual; assuring him that Ganguernet, though fond offun, was in the main a charming good fellow, a pleasant boon companion, and one without whom, especially in the country, it was impossible todrive away ennui.
