To gain more time , she made Rose rinse out her little bottle for her ; however , she was about to return to her room when she heard the pork butcher exclaim with a sort of childish candour : `` No , indeed , we 'll stand for it no longer ! We 'll make a clean sweep of all those humbugging Deputies and Ministers ! Yes , we 'll send the whole lot packing . '' Eight o'clock had scarcely struck on the following morning when Mademoiselle Saget was already at the pork shop . She found Madame Lecoeur and La Sarriette there , dipping their noses into the heating-pan , and buying hot sausages for breakfast .

This opinion had been inspired by the assertions of Mademoiselle Saget , who had declared to Madame Lecoeur that Florent had induced one of the two girls to coquette with Gavard , and that the four of them had indulged in the wildest dissipation at Barratte 's -- of course , at the poultry dealer 's expense .
