Ah! For me, it is from the heart.
And for me the same.
Here,
I invite you to supper, Mesdames, today,
Unless you have some other business.
No, I am a widow.
And I, I shall be a widow as well;
The President has gone to his lands.
Eh! Say to his vineyard.
Again?

I will keep quiet.
But it is that...
But, silence then.
2
Very well, I will tell you,
That my husband, forced to go to the countryside,
For timber cutting, was very grumpy
To abandon his very dear companion this evening.
Grumpy!
3
Eh! But yes. Why this mocking air?
Madame, open your heart to us,
If you judge that we are worthy of it.
The President has gone to his vineyards?
Yes.
Mr. Lek absent for timber cutting?
