translate English to French: A tutor thinks rather of his own self-interest more than of that of his pupil; he makes a point of showing that there has been no time wasted and that he has earned the money he has been given. He provides his pupil with goods which can be readily displayed in the shop window, accomplishments which can be shown off at will.
Un précepteur songe à son intérêt plus quà celui de son disciple; il sattache à prouver quil ne perd pas son temps, et quil gagne bien largent quon lui donne; il le pourvoit dun acquis de facile étalage et quon puisse montrer quand on veut; il nimporte que ce quil lui apprend soit utile, pourvu quil se voie aisément.
