"You are sure you never saw this Monsieur Georges?"
"Never. My aunt used to send me to bed very early, before she went to the theatre."
"Did she not take you with her to the theatre sometimes?"
"Never. She said that theatres were not good for little girls."
"Now tell me about your journey to Saint-Germain. How did you go?"
"First in a carriage, and then in a train."
"Had you to wait at the station?"
"A long time. I was tired of waiting so long. I thought it would have been nicer to be at home, where I had story-books to read."
"What did your aunt and Monsieur de Maucroix do while they were waiting?"
"They sat in a corner of a big room, with great windows through which we could see the trains. I watched the trains through the window."
