Yes, Mademoiselle, just as if he were a little Jesus. Do you wish to know what I think about him, this young man lying here? You will lead him to the altar for his marriage. He is a jewel, like yourself, my dear.
MUSOTTE
Do you really think him pretty?
MME. FLACHE
On the honor of a midwife, I have seldom brought into the world one so pretty. It is a pleasure to know that one has brought to the light such a little Cupid as he is.
MUSOTTE
And to think that in a few hours, perhaps, I shall see him no more; look at him no more; love him no more!
MME. FLACHE
Oh, no, no! You are talking unreasonably.
