The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Father Goriot by Honore de Balzac: "Oh! oh!"
"Booououh!"
"Prrr!"
These exclamations came from all parts of the table like squibs
from a set firework.
"Come, now, Mama Vauquer, a couple of bottles of champagne,"
called Vautrin.
"Quien! just like you! Why not ask for the whole house at once. A
couple of bottles of champagne; that means twelve francs! I shall
never see the money back again, I know! But if M. Eugene has a
mind to pay for it, I have some currant cordial."
