Confrontation over Footmen Dispute Delayed by Illness
An extended account details a quarrel between M de Moermont and M de Menager over confronted footmen. Despite promises, Menager delays reparations, insisting on defending his servants. The Count de Rechteren presses for a fair confrontation, but Menager refuses. After repeated appeals, Rechteren refines that the matter should be settled by the footmen themselves, ending with mutual frustration and no agreed remedy.
