Summary:
Quand j’étais jeune fille à marier, je trouvais plus de galants qu’il ne me fallait.
Me voici mariée à un vieillard de plus de soixante ans, moi qui suis une élégante de dix-huit ans.
– « Silence, jeune fille, le bonhomme mourra. » – « Le voilà enterré, je ferai jouer les sonneurs sur sa tombe et si les autres dansent, je danserai aussi. »
