“Oh, oh yeah!” With hindsight, it was a fortunate thing that no member of the Paris police happened to pass the café on his night-time rounds. Not only was there the broken and suspiciously steamed-up front window, but there were also the voices emanating from the darkened interior. Somewhat enthusiastic voices, it had to be said:
“Oh!” exclaimed the woman; “Oh! Oh! Oh!” By way of accompaniment, there could also be heard the distinctive sound of a rickety wooden table rattling back and forth on its unsteady legs: “Oh!oh!oh!oh!” As the table’s oscillations seemed to pick up pace, there was in addition what sounded like a wine bottle and glasses chiming and vibrating in time to the rhythm.
“Oh baby…” the man gallantly commented; there was another sound, like one of said wineglasses falling off the edge of aforementioned rickety table and tinkling across the floor. The woman’s voice cut back in, very calm and collected under the circumstances:
“Please don’t call me that,” she politely requested; “thank you very much.”
“Er, sorry,” the man apologised before managing to get back into his stride: “Oh my…Jesus…”
“Oh! Oh! Oh…” There was the briefest moment of calm, broken only by the sound of two people catching their breath, before the woman spoke again: “Well, I think that’s that, then.”
