Physiologie du jour de l'an

Premier de l'an, jour si triste pour les uns, si beau pour les autres, je vais essayer d'esquisser ta physionomie ; et je te traiterai aussi bien que possible. Je te redoute trop, moi qui suis une de tes victimes ordinaires, pour ne pas me montrer indulgent envers toi !

Je ne te demande q'une chose, c'est qu'il te plaise de me rendre la pareille.

Cher lecteur, puisse mon cadeau du jour de l'an vous plaire !
