gossiping Parisians at Maxim's: [singing gossip as they all stop to see who's entering Maxim's, and with who] There's that wretched man Louis DeLaTour / with his latest horrible amour. / Isn't she a mess? Isn't she a sight? / Let's invite them out tomorrow night.
[Honore receives his female guest as she enters Maxim's]
gossiping Parisians at Maxim's: Honore Lachaille, Honore Lachaille - / with another twinkle in his eye. / Isn't it a shame? Isn't it a crime seeing him so happy all the time?
[Gaston enters Maxim's with Liane]
gossiping Parisians at Maxim's: There's Gaston Lachaille with his little friend. / Is that passion never going to end? / Did you see her ring? Not a bagatelle! / Dear Liane is doing very well.
