Original Text:
LE MARI (lisant):" nous étions mollement étendus sur la mousse odorante, les rayons de la lune perçaient les branches du Saule agité par la Brise du soir. Enivrés d'amour nous lançions au Ciel des Sermens qui retombaient dans nos coeurs."

LA FEMME (à part) : Peut-on lire ces choses avec un bonnet de coton, et une boule comme la sienne!…..


Translation:
THE HUSBAND (reading aloud): "We lay indolently on the fragrant moss, while the beams of the moon flickered through the branches of a willow, gently swaying in the evening breeze. Overcome with love we cried to to heaven the longings we felt in our hearts."
HIS WIFE (sotto voce): how can he possibly read such poetry and wear a night bonnet and a face like this.
