The Language Mix/ a cute little story

Devoirs pour mercredi, le 9e mars
One day, the good professor and bon vivant, Monsieur Beavei, decided to take his wife to get something to eat. Although he had carte blanche to go to any restaurant in New York City, he decided to go to Sardis. The professor is very important so he sent a courier in advance to arrange a table for two at two.
The restaurant is well known and filled with art deco pieces. On this particular day the menu was in calligraphy and difficult to read; the words seemed to be camouflaged on the page. Because of this they decided to order an aperitif and then a la carte from the menu to avoid any mistakes. Madame Beavei was particularly fond of the potatoes au gratin at Sardis.
The maitre d’ came to the table and was very upset with Madame Beavei. He said, “But Madame! Clothing is required.” You see, when she removed her coat the Madame was au naturel. The maitre d’ bundled her back into her coat, took the Professor and his wife, each by the arm, put them out the back door into an alley full of debris and pushed them on their way.
Madame Beavei said to her husband, “Do you remember the last time we went there? I wore denim and the results were the same.”
