It is a gran' sight.

M'sieu' Hadrian laugh, and his teeth shine, and the ladies say things of him, and he tell P'tite Louison that she look ver' fine, and walk like a queen.

I am there that day, and I see all, and I think it dam good.

I say: 'That P'tite Louison, she beat them all'-- I am only twelve year old then.

When M'sieu' Hadrian leave, he give her two seats for the theatre, and we go.
