THE LADIES' BATH. YES, MY DEAR, IT IS JUST THE WAY I HAVE THE HONOUR OF TELLING YOU. I WAS PREGNANT WITH HIM FOR ELEVEN MONTHS AND PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS DROPSICAL. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALREADY SIX YEARS AGO? HE TAKES AFTER HIS FATHER, DRUM-MAJOR OF THE 6TH LEGION. SINGS THE MARSEILLAISE (NATIONAL ANTHEM) BY HEART AND HAS A DRINK IN THE MORNING LIKE A REAL FIRE-FIGHTER. OH, MY LITTLE DARLING, COME HERE AND GIVE YOUR MOTHER A KISS!
