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 The Absent-Minded. This artist, after having been to the Salon, is seized by a sublime inspiration and approaches his canvas.

Afterwards, once his excitement has subsided, he realizes..... he had forgotten to use the brush.
