Monsieur Pain - Closing

" ... In any case a busy routine would have been too much for Monsieur Pain. He tried to get his veteran's pension back, but everything was such a mess in those years; it was hopeless. So we went on working in cabarets and circuses on the outskirts of Paris. Until one day his lungs gave out and he collapsed. He died in my arms, in the manager's office at the Cabaret Madame Dore."
