[Olivier]

Hello!

Anders:

>>Panel 9 on that same page tells in the French edition
>>that Donald and Daisy was at her house doing something
They were not at Daisy's, just going there-- "and while we-- er--"

>>On page 12 panel 6 Goldie is talking of hard work, in
>>French she was tired from his night work [...]
>>No relationship (of love) should be hinted. They could ask,
>>what did they do at night? Why did he pay her 15 kroner
>>(in the Danish version)? Isn't that extremely much?
>>What else has she done apart from digging Gold?

Er-- I'm afraid that's an adult version of the story you have   ;  )

Picsou Magazine 333, "The Coin", p 12 panel 6:
"Ah oui? Eh bien *voilà* ce que je pense de toi et de ton
 travail à la noix!" (she throws the coins in Scrooge's face)
"Oh yeah? Well *here* 's  what I think of  you and your
lousy job!"

noix:          walnut
à la noix:   a collocation that conveys your derogatory opinion
                  of  something in a mild manner
No allusion to night (nuit) whatsoever.

(p 15, panel 3) "And there at my digging I made her work for a month!"
(p 15, panel 4) "When the month was up I paid her off!
                          Don Rosa copied the left half of  this panel (Scrooge
                          paying Goldie-- and he paid her *50* cents a day! not *30*)
                          and the next one, adding a bit of  scenery
