Image Not Available for 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!

Image Not Available for This morning before dawn / A God came to wake me up / The curtains they were drawn / And my snoring had to stop / It is your daddy's birthday, / A time for gifts and flowers / To be placed on his head so gray / Instead of his morning showers.
This morning before dawn / A God came to wake me up / The curtains they were drawn / And my snoring had to stop / It is your daddy's birthday, / A time for gifts and flowers / To be placed on his head so gray / Instead of his morning showers.

Image Not Available for Robert Macaire, Professor of Industry. Here's an example. Buy a new process, it doesn't matter which, or whether it's good or bad, buy it for 600F, 500F, 25F, for as little as possible. Create 500'000F worth of shares, as many as possible. Make out monster advertisements, monster posters, monster promises. Make the capital, pocket it, put the key under the door, file your bankruptcy papers, that's to say the company's papers... that's the end of that little game. You then go on to another.
