Fanny Page #2

Is Monday something special?

Don't you remember?

On Monday's at 12:30 my father

lunches with his girlfriend.

Oh.

Oh, yes, of course.

Tell me, is it still the same,

um, uh, voluptuous Dutch lady?

There's a new one.

She is Spanish.

And monumental!

Oh, hoo, hoo, hoo.

That will be four francs each.

Four francs for that?

My mother

says four francs.

And from that high

court, there's no appeal.

Ha, ha.

Ah, to you.

Why don't you have

lunch with me, Fanny?

There's enough for two.

Why, I'd be delighted.

Marius, two anisettes.

It is not often that

a lonely old widower

Gets to have lunch with

such a pretty girl.

Mm.

And it isn't often I'm told

I'm such a pretty girl.

Ah, I see you are still wearing

your mourning band, Panisse.

Yes.

It will be four months tomorrow.

Poor Felicity.

On Friday, she ate an enormous

dish of bouillabaisse.

And on Sunday, ptt!

Oh, don't, Panisse, don't.

Such memories hurt.

Don't talk about her.

No, no, no.

No, no.

On the contrary, I

enjoy talking about it.

How soft your hand is.

And how cool.

Hm, mm.

Remarkable.

Oh, why is

that remarkable?

Your hand must be

just as... ah, no.

As a matter of fact,

it's quite warm.

Marius, two more anisettes.

If you're going

to drink, I suggest

That your free your hands.

We'll manage, you pour.

Atta boy, atta boy.

Fill our glasses.

They're full.

Liar.

What did you say?

Careful!

Careful, you're spilling it.

He is a little nervous today.

What manners!

Such a pretty hand.

Papa Panisse.

You have already

praised my hand.

Your right hand.

I am now referring

to your left hand.

Oh, so delicate.

What an agreeable sample of what

the rest of you must be like.

Oh, ho, ho.

Panisse!

Ha, ha.

Ooh!

What the devil are you doing?

Oh, I think it's quite obvious.

I'm cleaning the table.

What?

Do you always clean tables while

customers are sitting them?

You must excuse

Marius, Papa Panisse.

He is young, probably in love.

Congratulations

on being in love.

I must confess that

from time to time

I have even thought to remarry.

Does that shock you?

Nope.

I mean, it's only

been four months.

Oh.

My conscience

would be clear.

Phew, I have cried more

in four months than other

In... in five years.

Oh!

And... and... and...

And tears of that big.

Oh!

Not only quantity but quality.

How understanding you

are for a young girl.

Fanny, your mother is calling.

Hm?

I did not hear her.

Did you, Panisse?

I doubt if I could

hear anything right now.

Mm.

Her hands have been

fully discussed,

Everybody is agreed

they're beautiful!

Nnn!

I was admiring this ring.

Is it gold?

Oh, no.

Barely copper.

Oh, but this necklace,
