I thought to marry a daredevil, such a fast-living viscount, to live off the fat of the land, with his crest on the carriage. Oh well! What do you expect? He is a gentle one, a gentle one not a daredevil at all. He is now my husband, he is a gentle one, my husband, a real gentleman, my husband. And even if his beard is of a certain blue, I know "It's him I love." He has got a few peculiar habits, the more I come to think about it. Oh well! What do you expect? But that doesn't worry me, bearing in mind he loves me. And by the time I'm well in my seventies the girls will have other things to talk about. Nothing special about my husband? Oh well! What do you expect?
