A.Cherel, French without Toil, Assimil, 1940. (Assimil Spare-Time Daily Courses). Lesson 103 deals with a few tips for the housewife: 'melt a little Marseilles soap in (some) warm beer...rub the pewter with a rag dipped in this mixture...You will only have...to rub with a (skin of) chamois', page 334.

This 1956 edition of the 'methode Assimil' fell open at page 94 and a cartoon captioned 'People find the time long when they wait!.This was outside a telephone box but it could be Coronavirus. There are many such amusing cartoons that make learning fun. The sentences are great too - such as, page 283 'Now Duckie. What a little spitfire', 'I was a stenographer before I married', page 419, and 'Are poodles common in Russia?' page 197.
