My friends’ friends are not always my friends. For instance, doctor Roubieux introduced me the other day to a friend of his, General Courage, who is neither A general nor a brave man.

I have not heard from him since.

Les amis de mes amis ne sont pas toujours mes amis. Tenez, le docteur Roubieux m’a présenté l’autre jour un ami à lui, le Général Courage, qui n’est d’ailleurs ni général ni courageux.
