started in to cry. So Dorothy really got discouraged and she said,
“Look here, you have given us a quite an amusing morning but if you
keep that up much longer, wet or dry, out you go.”
So then he started in to pointing at the telephone and he seemed to
want to use the telephone and Dorothy said, “If you think you can get a
number over that thing, go to it, but as far as we have found out, it
is a wall bracket.” So then he started in to telephone so Dorothy and I
went about our business to get dressed. So when he finished telephoning
he kept running to my door and then he kept running to Dorothy’s door,
and he kept on crying and talking a lot, but he seemed to have lost all
of his novelty to us so we paid no more attention to him.
So finally there was another loud knock on the door so we heard him
rush to the door so we both went in to the parlor to see what it was
and it really was a sight. Because it was another Frenchman. So the new
Frenchman rushed in and he yelled Papa and he kissed him. So it seems
that it was his son because his son is really his papa’s partner in the
advocat business. So then his papa talked quite a lot and then he
pointed at I and Dorothy. So then his son looked at us and then his son
let out quite a large size squeal, and he said in French “May papa,
elles sont sharmant.” So it seems he was telling his papa in French
that we were really charming. So then Mons. Broussard stopped crying
and put on his glasses and took a good look at us. So then his son put
up the window shade, so his papa could get a better look at us. So when
his papa had finished looking at us he really became delighted. So he
became all smiles and he pinched our cheeks and he kept on saying
Sharmant all of the time because Sharmant means charming in the French
languadge. So then his son broke right out into english and he really
speaks english as good as an American. So then he told us his papa
telephoned for him to come over because we did not seem to understand
what his papa was saying to us. So it seems that Mons. Broussard had
been talking to us in english all of the time but we did not seem to
understand his kind of english. So Dorothy said, “If what your papa was
talking in was english, I could get a gold medal for my greek.” So then
his son told his papa and his papa laughed very very loud and he
pinched Dorothys cheek and he was very delighted even if the joke was
on him. So then Dorothy and I asked his son what he was saying, when he
was talking to us in english and his son said he was telling us all
about his client, Lady Francis Beekman. So then we asked his son why
his papa kept crying. So then his son said his papa kept crying because
he was thinking about Lady Francis Beekman. So Dorothy said, “If he
cries when he thinks about her, what does he do when he looks at her?”
So then his son explained to his papa what Dorothy said. So then Mons.
Broussard laughed very very loud, so then he kissed Dorothy’s hand, so
