"Oh! Yes! Oh, Bossuet--" Joly tries for a scolding expression, with a notable lack of success. "We had found some rather nice baubles, you know, but then there was this priest, and if we aren't saintly I don't know what he was, and--well, anyway. Yes. Gambling."
Joly may be drunk, and he may be having a fit of the giggles, but he still catches some of Feuilly's mood, enough to sober a little. "We're not teasing you, Feuilly, really we aren't. It happened, I swear. I know it's absurd, something like that, but--I mean really it's even more absurd than we're saying-- oh, of course you don't believe us...hmm..." Joly frowns. They have the report cards, true, but apparently that's not very persuasive. Bossuet lost the little bits of treasure, is there anything else to convince even themselves the whole thing wasn't a bit of joke, when they sober up?
