Parfois, pour pouvoir entrer dans un lieu ou participer \u00e0 une assembl\u00e9e, prouver son identit\u00e9 et son caract\u00e8re recommandable, ou encore pour d\u00e9montrer sa bonne foi pour obtenir quelque chose, on doit montrer patte blanche, c’est-\u00e0-dire donner un signe de reconnaissance, une autorisation :<\/p>\n

Sometimes, to be able to enter a place or a gathering, to prove one’s identity and upright character, or again to demonstrate one’s good faith to obtain something, one has to ‘give the signal’, that is to give the sign of recognition, authorization.<\/p>\n

“Jotte a sonn\u00e9 deux fois, comme il est convenu, pour montrer patte blanche. La femme de chambre lui ouvre : – Madame est chez elle ?”<\/p>\n

“Jotte rang twice, as had been agreed, to give the signal. The maid opened the door: – Is Madam at home?”<\/p>\n
