Title (alt.):
- I spoke continuously for three and a half hours! - Ah! I see you get paid by the hour... for me I think it is more advantageously to plead by distance.. Charivari
Description:
This is an allusion to the discussion about coach tariffs: The drivers were paid either by the hour or by distance. Similar to the series “Les bons bourgeois” the Croquis Parisiens are dealing with numerous small misfortunes in the life of the Parisians. They were especially impressed by the possibilities opened by the railroad. Travels to the surroundings and the French province were both exciting and startling experiences.
