TRANSLATION
Miss Douglas lived in a very pretty house, just at the end of the village of Colorado Springs.
...Maggie and Luna stopped at the threshold intimidated : "I hâve brought three chickens and two pats of butter "...
Miss Cora laughed {se mit à rire) and made the children sit near the fire. . .
While Maggie chattered gaily, Luna said nothing. On the other hand (en revanche), she looked about attentively. . . Soon she got up and went around the drawing-room. . . It seemed to her as if she were among familiar surroundings ((^ays de connaissance). The pictures especially attracted her...
Miss Douglas conducted the children to the dining-room, where she had prepared a lunch of oranges, bananas, and cakes. Soon, Miss Douglas called them. A small, open carriage waited at the door... She jumped on the seat, and the two little girls sat close to her. . .
DE GRANDES RESOLUTIONS 6l
Ail the excitement of the day did not prevent the little girls from appreciating the dinner. . .
The little girls slept in a pretty room where (dont) the furniture was white with a délicate blue line (filet). They could not cease (n'en finissaient) admiring and were scarcely (n'avaient presque plus) sieepy. . .
Luna saw a large fine engraving, which she had not yet noticed. It was the Virgin of the Chair by Raphaël. She put (porta) her hand to her head, which pained her (faisait très mal).
...As in a picture, she saw herself in her Paris room; ail the détails came back to her with extraordinary vividness : the little bed, the small furniture, the white curtains, and above ail an engraving absoliitely like this one... Suddenly she understood, she remembered. . . Stretching her arnis toward the image she cried in the midst of sobs : " Mamma — Mamma ! "
