Music-hall

Like every night, in this town as in all other towns - twenty or thirty years? thirty years... - La Fille will play out her little story, take mines, skilled at taking mines, hum ditty and sketch dance steps. As she does every night, in this town as in all others, she will recount the terrible day that is drawing to a close, the painful day that is drawing to a close, recounting the various humiliations and hazards. Like every night, the two boys, exhausted, tired, dreaming of running away, running away, the two boys will pretend, skilled at making faces, the two boys will accompany her, cheat with her, pretend.
