to snuggle in.

a photo of Thérése.
:41:10
Who is Thérése?
:41:14
The chambermaid at the inn.
Welfare sent her. She was fifteen.
:41:19
She was always in black.
lt was her only dress.
:41:24
Her tiny breasts showed through.
:41:26
lt made me jealous.
:41:30
Thérése!
:41:32
Thérése!
:41:34
Where is she now, the little sneak?
:41:36
Thérése.
:41:37
Yes Madame.
:41:39
The rooms made?
:41:41
Yes Madame.
:41:42
Let's prepare the beans.
:41:44
I wanted to be her friend,
but she was too oId.
:41:47
So l made do, hanging around her.
:41:50
Schwartz used to tease me
about her.
:41:53
Did l tell you about him?
:41:55
No, l don't think so.
:41:56
Sure l did.
He was the medical student.
:42:00
He washed dishes
to pay for his studies.
:42:04
He lived in a maid's room
near the Place des Ternes.
:42:07
l met him only because
he lived near us.
:42:11
Charlotte was almost
a year old by then.
:42:15
From his bed l could see
hundreds of chimneys.
:42:20
Thérése was your biggest
childhood influence.
:42:24
Tell me about Thérése.
:42:28
What went on with Thérése?
:42:35
lt was a Saturday.
Auntie took the car
:42:38
to the St. Mathurin market.
:42:41
lt was during vacation
:42:43
or maybe l skipped school.
:42:45
l don't remember.
