Ladies, dinner is served!⁠ ⁠… I’m starved! ↩ + 

As an aside. ↩ + 

Come back soon, my friend, my dear Mademoiselle Jeanette. ↩ + 

That must mean⁠ ⁠… there is a present for me in it, and maybe for you, too, Mademoiselle. Monsieur has spoken of you: he asked me my governess’ name, and if she were small, rather thin and somewhat pale. I said yes, because it’s true, isn’t it, Mademoiselle? ↩ + 

There’s a present in your little trunk for Mademoiselle Eyre, isn’t there? ↩ + 

And I hold to it. ↩ + 

I must try it on⁠ ⁠… at once! ↩ + 

They’re changing. ↩ + 

At mama’s,⁠ ⁠… when people came, I followed them everywhere, to the drawing rooms and the bedrooms; often I watched the maids dress the ladies and arrange their hair, and it was so much fun; that’s the way one learns. ↩ + 

Yes, Mademoiselle; we haven’t eaten for five or six hours. ↩ + 

And what a shame [that would be]! ↩ + 

Could I take but one of these wonderful flowers, Mademoiselle? Only to complete my dress. ↩ + 

Pretty, but irregular. ↩ + 

Greetings, ladies. ↩ + 

Still young. ↩ + 
