French???: Môdame l'Amirale de pacotille nous a envoyé ses guignols, à c'que j'vois.
‘So Her Ladyship the tin-pot Admiral has sent us her clowns, I see.’
German???: Sieh an, das Schoßhündchen von Admiral Meckerweib!
‘Well, well, if it isn't Admiral Nag-Woman's little lapdog!’
FrenchMôdame l'Amirale de pacotille nous a envoyé ses guignols, à c'que j'vois.
‘Her Ladyship the tin-pot Admiral has sent us her clowns, from what I see.’
Doesmaga stretches his words to mock Merlwyb and her inspectors. Tin-pot means worthless.
Doesmaga twists Merlwyb's name. „meckern“ is 'to grouse or bleat like a goat', and „Weib“ is a rude word for 'woman', mocking her '-wyb'.
French mocks the Admiral as a cheap fake and her agents as puppet clowns, not as lapdogs.
FrenchUne 'tite lettre aurait suffi...
‘A little letter would have been enough...’
French jokes that they needn't have come, a note would do; English accuses them of poking their noses in.
