:40:04
Would you mind if I cry a little?
:40:22
No, upon my soul, I can't.
The tears won't come.
:40:26
I'll have to have some more cognac.
:40:41
What are you laughing at?
:40:44
Do you remember when we sat there
on the sofa kissing madly?
:40:50
You had unbuttoned my blouse,
:40:52
and something else too.
:40:55
Then suddenly the curtain
was drawn aside,
:40:58
and there stood my dear husband.
:41:02
It was just like a play by Feydeau.
:41:06
I screamed and you made for the door.
:41:11
He rushed off to get his pistol,
with me hanging on his leg.
:41:18
You became friends for life.
:41:23
Your husband was a great-hearted man.
:41:29
Now Im weeping.
:41:33
The happy, splendid life is over,
:41:37
and the horrible,
dirty life engulfs us.
:41:43
That's the way it is.
:41:54
This won't do.
:41:58
I must wash up
and redo my makeup,
