[Fr.] In a French farce, Patelin, Guillaume, a draper, is robbed of some sheep by his shepherd, Agnelet, and of some cloth by P., an advocate. At the trial of A., G. recognizes in A.'s advocate the thief P., and, confusedly mixing up in his answers cloth and sheep, is recalled by the judge, who says, "Revenons," etc.
