A garbled mix of verse about political scheming with a hungered predator and a tale of Henri Rochefort recalling a workman glass works gift. The piece then recounts Mme Dimbourg of Boulogne, a frugal yet benevolent donor aged 72, who secretly funded glass works with 100 000 francs while living in austere comfort and giving to the poor in old age.
