Now that I will be stylishly draping myself with Clapotis, I have decided to become French. I realize that with these ‘stalwart’ legs and freckled skin it will be hard to fool people.
il n’importe pas!
I will be French. (you may even start confusing me with one skinny rabbit!)
Claire has procurred the livres. Tonight we meet to plan our transformation …. it is only a matter of time. Of course, I will be needing a cute French name for myself. Something adorable, yet elegant …. avez-vous des idées?

OMG, I recall junior high French class and we had to pick French a name — I was Angelique (after a character on a soap; I’m vague, but it just had to be Dark Shadows!).
I was Josee in high school French class. My copy of the book is on its way from Amazon. :-)
AMELIE!
I was Jacqueline in French class… but I’ve always had a soft spot for Madeline.
I agree….AMELIE. I loved the film.
