sont charmant.” 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 Charmant all of the time because Charmant means charming in the French language. 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 Dorothy’s cheek and he was very delighted even if the joke was on him.

So his papa said it would be charming. 
So then I said, “How are we going to tell you gentlemen apart, because if it is the same in Paris as it is in America, you would both seem to be Monshure Broussard.” 
So then we got the idea to call them by their first name. 
So it seems that his son’s name is Louie so Dorothy spoke up and said, “I hear that they number all of you Louies over here in Paris.” 
Because a girl is always hearing someone talk about Louie the sixteenth who seemed to be in the antique furniture business. 
I mean I was surprised to hear Dorothy get so historical so she may really be getting educated in spite of everything. 
But Dorothy told Louie he need not try to figure out his number because she got it the minute she looked at him.
