C'est unique! j'ai pris quatre tailles, juste comme celles là dans ma vie; Fifine ma premiére! Cocotte, cette gueuse de Cocotte! la grande Mimi, et mon épouse là haut dans le coin.

What a coincidence! I had my arms around these four waists in my life: Fifine, my first one! Cocotte, that little tart! big Mimi, and my wife up there in the corner!
