Facts

 Sissy Jupe and the third gentleman were in disagree about how to carpet a room, as the girl shows her conformity on do it with flower representations, declaring herself as a fond of them. However, the third gentleman, who was actually a government officer, wouldn’t ever attempt to paper the room with this fancy kind of illustrations due to the flowers do not grow from walls or rugs, and shows his preference on decorate it with mathematical figures. This huge contradiction makes reference to the use of these figures as a piece of art, which leave their strict objective meaning, because art is fancy, a non value possession whose only function is to garnish. Then, government officer's speech about facts is not consequent with his very true preferences, as this incongruity reveals him as an hypocrite.
