Politeness on the "périssoire"

Bildunterschrift: "Pardon, Monsieur, but could you indicate to me the shortest road to arrive in Trouville?" "South-south-west by south, and straight on, Madame! But as I have the honour of voyaging in the same direction as madame, perhaps she would deign permit me to have the double honour of escorting her?" [The "pérssoire" consists of two boats joined by a seat and footboard, and is common on the French coast. Probable derivation: "Péri," a Peri; "S'asseoir," to sit down.
