Je veux laisser un monument impérissable..., 1854. 'Je veux laisser un monument impérissable de notre visite à cette falaise...j'ajouterai aussi votre nom, Adélaïde, le respect que je professe pour le beau sexe m'en fait un devoir'. Monsieur Prudhomme: 'I want to leave a permanent monument of our visit to this cliff...I will also add your name, Adelaide, the respect that I profess for the fairer sex makes it a duty for me'. Monsieur Prudhomme was a character invented by Henri Monnier to symbolise bourgeois complacency and self-satisfaction. From Les Bons bourgeois, no. 2.
