    This was Marianne’s second sore throat in as many months.
    â€œCould be the same one that wasn’t completely cured de first time.”
    â€œLike a relapse, you mean?”
    Carmen envied Terry’s use of the French word rechute for “relapse” rather than slipping into the English, as he might have done. His vocabulary seemed to be improving lately.
    â€œYou think she ought to see the doctor?”
    Terry wasn’t sure. He wasn’t the type to run off to the doctor at the slightest malaise.
    â€œT’isn’t as doh she’s complaining all de time. Her nose’s hardly runnin’ at all.”
    â€œIt doesn’t seem normal, a sore throat that’s not a cold. Can kids that age be catchin’ mono?”
    Terry turned to Marianne:
    â€œMarianne, did you go off an’ kiss somebody an’ not tell yer mum or dad?”
    Marianne looked from her dad to her mum.
    â€œDad’s just pullin’ yer leg, me beauty. Come on over ’ere to yer mum.”
    Marianne did not need to be asked twice; she walked into Carmen’s outstretched arms.
    â€œSeems to me she’s a whole lot quieter too, not jumpin’ all over everything all de time.”
    Terry knew what Carmen meant.
    â€œAnyways, one ting’s fer sure, she’s not havin’ ’er tonsils out.”
    He used the English word tonsils .
    â€œAn’ why’s that?”
    â€œDey discovered tonsils is what processes our emotions an’ memories while we’s sleepin’.”
    Terry said processes in English.
    â€œSorry, don’t know the right word fer processes .”
    This information about tonsils worried Carmen.
    â€œGo on! Are ya serious?”
    â€œDat’s wot I read.”
    Carmen fell silent. Gently caressing Marianne, she was trying to think what effect having her own tonsils out when she was six years old might have had on her.
    â€œWell, I suppose it don’t make sense tonsils would be useless after all.”
    â€œ Amygdales !” Terry exclaimed, picking up on Carmen’s use of the French for tonsils.
    â€œDat’s de word I’s lookin’ fer.”

    Once Étienne Zablonski had understood that the vert laine Le Petit Étienne was talking about was not green wool, but rather Verlaine the poet, and after Zablonski had explained that verveine was not about green veins but rather a plant with which one makes tea, and that no, or perhaps actually, there may be a colour called orange à m è re , though he Zablonski was not aware of it, but if there was, probably the words meant not mother’s orange but rather orange amère or bitter orange, called in Acadian French orange aigre , or haigre — he’d also heard it pronounced haigue 3 — well, once he’d understood all that, the painter Étienne Zablonski went to the back of his loft to bring out a rare object from his distant past.
