“- Our boat let go the anchor and has drifted away.... we're stuck on this lonely island like Robinson Crusoe... and without anything to eat and no parrot... - That's true.... and I really don't know what to eat, once I have devoured you, poor Cabassol!,” plate 5 from Les Canotiers Parisiens

“- Well, fancy that! I thought that we had just discovered a deserted island or at least a country inhabited by cannibals. - No, Sir.... and the proof is that, if you want, I am going to make you eat an excellent fricassee of game in a white wine sauce. - A fricassee of game ....oh, then it's different..... we are with the Chatophages. (note:cat-eaters),” plate 2 from Les Canotiers Parisiens

A Difficult Navigation. “- The boat doesn't move! Pull Dumouchel, pull.... why the devil don't you pull! - But I am doing nothing else than that for the last three hours!.... and this is called a pleasure trip! I'd rather sell my prunes in rue de la Verrerie.... that's less tiring!,” plate 6 from Les Canotiers Parisiens
