I said to Fontan, 'On va etre malade!' 'Oui,' il dit. Then these girls were sick, nice girls, too, all-right girls. They were sick right at the table. Fontan tried to take them by the arm and show them where they could be sick all right in the cabinet, but the fellows said no, they were all right there...
