Sans doute M. Riflot le droit..., 1839. La Journée du Célibataire. - 'Sans doute M. Riflot le droit de pétition est sacré, mais on en abuse! temoin celle dont vous nous parlez: imposer les célibataires comme inutiles à la population! j'en suis faché pour les gens mariés, mais s'il faut le dire il n'en est aucun qui, plus que moi Coquelet, ait aidé à la population'. Singles' Day. Bachelor: 'Without doubt, Monsieur Riflot, the right to petition is sacred, but it is abused! Just take the one you told us about: declaring single people as useless to the population! I am sorry for married people, but it must be said, there is no one who, more than me Coquelet, has helped the population'. (The implication is that Coquelet, despite not being married, has impregnated women and thus increased the population).
