Possess your soul in patience - you will see !

Something I've resurrected from that old trunk! Styles haven't changed so terribly much after all.

[She parts the portières.]

Now just look at your mother !

[...]

No vases to hold them? All right, I'll hold them myself - And then I - [She stops in front of the picture.] met your father ! Malaria fever and jonquils and then - this - boy....

[She switches on the rose-coloured lamp.]

I hope they get here before it starts to rain.
