I'd throw myself at the foot of our bed and rack my brains to find someone who could lend me an écu which I wouldn't repay. She was as happy as a lark. She'd sit down at her keyboard and accompany herself while singing. She had a voice like a nightingale. I'm sorry you never heard her. When I had some concert to go to, I'd take her with me. On the way I'd say to her, "Come on then, Madame, make them look up to you. Display your talent and your charm. Up with you. Knock them out." I'D THROW MYSELF AT THE FOOT OF OUR BED AND RACK MY BRAINS TO FIND SOME ONE WHO COULD LEND ME AN ACOUS WHICH I WOULDN'T REPAY SHE WAS AS HAPPY AS A LARK SHE'D SIT DOWN AT HER KEYBOARD AND ACCOMPANY HERSELF ALL SINGING SHE HAD A VOICE LIKE A NIGHTINGALE I'M SORRY YOU NEVER HEARD HER WHEN I HAD SOME CONCERT TO GO TO I'D TAKE HER WITH ME ON THE WAY I'D SAY TO HER COME ON THEN MADAM MAKE THEM LOOK UP TO YOU DISPLAY YOUR TALENT AND YOUR CHARM UP WITH YOU KNOCK THEM OUT
 life it's better than crawling, demeaning and prostituting oneself. HIM: But I need a good bed, a fine table, warm clothing in winter, cool clothing in summer, spare time, money, and lots of other things which I prefer to owe to charity than to acquire by work. ME: That's because you're a good-for-nothing, greedy coward--with a soul of mud. HIM: I think I've told you that. ME: Things in life no doubt have a price, but you've no idea of the sacrifice you're making to obtain them. You dance, you have danced, and you'll continue to dance the vile pantomime. HIM: It's true. But it hasn't cost me much and isn't costing me any more for all that. And that's the reason I'd be making a mistake to take up some other way of getting along which would bring me grief and which I wouldn't keep up. But I see from what you've told me that my poor little wife was a sort of philosopher. She was as brave as a lion. Sometimes we didn't have any bread or any money. We'd sold just about all our old clothes. O IMITATE DIOGNIES ME I'LL BET MY LIFE IT'S BETTER THAN CRAWLING TO MEANING AND PROSTITUTING ONESELF HIM BUT I NEED A GOOD BED A FINE TABLE WARM CLOTHES IN WINTER COOL CLOTHING IN SUMMER SPARE TIME MONEY AND LOTS OF OTHER THINGS WHICH I PREFER TO OWE TO CHARITY THAN TO ACQUIRE BY WORK ME THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING GREEDY COWARD WITH A SOUL OF MUD HIM I THINK I'VE TOLD YOU THAT ME THINGS IN LIFE NO DOUBT HAVE A PRICE BUT YOU'VE NO IDEA OF THE SACRIFICE YOU'RE MAKING TO OBTAIN THEM YOU DANCE YOU HAVE DANCED AND YOU'LL CONTINUE TO DANCE THE VILE PANTOMIME HIM IT'S TRUE BUT IT HASN'T COST ME MUCH AND ISN'T COSTING ME ANY MORE FOR ALL THAT AND THAT'S THE REASON I'D BE MAKING A MISTAKE TO TAKE SOME OTHER WAY OF GETTING ALONG WHICH WOULD BRING ME GRIEF AND WHICH I WOULDN'T KEEP UP BUT I SEE FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT MY POOR LITTLE WIFE WAS A SORT OF PHILOSOPHER SHE WAS AS BRAVE AS A LION SOMETIMES WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BREAD OR ANY MONEY WE'D SOLD JUST ABOUT ALL OUR OLD CLOTHES
