HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE AS THIN AS THIS? MY DEAR FRIEND, YOU SHOULD NEVER COME TO THE SWIMMING POOL WITHOUT WEARING LONG COTTON PANTS. - AND YOU, MY FRIEND, DON'T EVER SHOW YOURSELF TO THE WORLD IN THIS COSTUME WITHOUT HAVING UPHOLSTERED YOURSELF BEFORE.... I CAN GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS OF MY UPHOLSTERER.
Unknown Artist and Honoré Daumier
Est-il permis d'être maigre comme ça?... Mon cher ami, vous ne devriez jamais venir aux bains Deligny sans vous mettre de mollets en coton. - Et vous, mon bon, n'allez jamais dans le monde avec ce costume-là sans vous être préalablement fait capitonner... je vous donnerai l'adresse de mon tapissier.
