V. Thème

My parents are English, I am sure of it. Do they live in England? I must go there. I speak of them to Mattia. He thinks that I must look for Madam Milligan who is an Englishwoman. As they asked only ten cents a day for the room, I spent several days there. But we were losing time. We must find Madam Milligan. She is not at Chavanon; we come from there. If Mother Barberin sends me a letter, I shall reply to it.
