How to spell Morvand…

 "Morvand does not spell with one D!  I have told you this about twenty times…  It is pity to have to repeat always the same thing!

― Oh ! Oh ! We get angry here, I say coming in Mr X's office, as when as, on a sour tone, he shouted out in these terms to one of his clerks, young native of Brassy, closing an envelop to Saint-André-en-Morvand's address.

― But imagine, exclaimed Mr X, by holding me the hand out, that I cannot enter in his head that Morvand does not take a D.

― He writes instinctively, it is necessary to forgive him, to this poor little Morvanneau.

― Morvan neau! What Morvanneau ! Morvandeau, Morvandiau, as you probably want to say…

― I said Morvanneau: why, God, do you want to say Morvandeau, since you want to get rid of D to Morvan?

― Ah!  This is not a reason!

― It is not a peremptory reason, I agree, but it is at least a plausible reason, and certainly logical.
