...Washers. Hastily christened by Bishop Lambert A. Hoch while they were still on the critical list, the quints seemed well past most of the dangers of prematurity last week.* Her pallor heightened by fright and emphasized by a blue robe, Mrs. Fischer submitted to a round of predictable nonsense when the hospital held a press conference in its crowded basement cafeteria.

...French, of course, adored all this, and certainly there is something to be said for such a powerfully perfumed little fleur du mat. It is lovely to look at-Cameraman Henri Decaë laves his park and his pond and his wandering darlings in a Proustian pallor of times lost.
