A programme for those interested in brushing up their French
Script by Emile Harven and M. J. MacDonald
Peter and Heten Lamb are taking the night tram to Marseilles. Unfortunately, they did not reserve seats and there is no room in the tfhird class. They go into a second-class compartment, but complications arise when it comes to paying on their tickets. Hermes appears at the crucial moment and is able to explain what was wrong.
Est-ce que ces places sont prises?, are these seats taken?; plein, full: rester debout dans ie couloir, to stand in the corridor; on y est serre comme des sardines, they're packed like sardines; jusqu'ou allez-vous?, how far are you going?; re.tenir des places, to reserve seals; il nous faut payer le supplément, we must pay the difference; tarn pis, what a pity; le recu, receipt; nos billots ne sont pas de deux;eme classe, our tickets are not second class.
