Mille Et Une Fadaises

Mille et une fadaises

by Jacques Cazotte

De retour de sa campagne, la Baronne de ... va voir la Marquise de ..., qui n'a plus fermé l'oeil depuis quinze jours. Qu'est-ce qui mieux qu'un discours de l'Abbé pourrait y remédier ? Le voici justement qui se présente. Sans talent pour les réflexions, ce sera par un conte qu'il tentera de les endormir : Riante, la Fée Troisbosses et d'autres seront les héros de son récit cocasse. Que de sottises ! When visiting the Marquise of ..., the Baroness of ... finds her deprived of sleep for a fortnight. Couldn't one of the Abbot's speeches solve this? There he is. He will attempt to put them to sleep by entertaining them with a fairy tale. The heroes of his comical story will be Riante (the Laughing one), la Fée Troisbosses (the Threehumps Fairy) and others. What nonsense ! (Summary by Ezwa.)
