Mother ordered books
but she can't read.
:45:17
Mother, say hello to the lady.
:45:25
How delightful. You're very sweet.
You're both sweet.
:45:29
I'm sure you'll get on.
What will you read?
:45:32
- "Alice in Wonderland".
- What a lucky girl.
:45:37
Oh dear. I'm going to be late.
:45:42
She's sure to forget her gloves.
:46:01
I've brought a beautiful work
by Marguerite Duras,
:46:05
"The Lover".
:46:09
"Fifteen and a half.
It's the crossing of the river."
:46:14
"I'm wearing a silk dress.
It's worn, almost transparent."
:46:18
"It was my mother's.
One day, thinking it too light,
:46:23
she gave it to me."
:46:25
"This dress is sleeveless
and very low-cut."
:46:28
"It has the brownish tones
that silk takes on with age."
:46:32
"It's a dress I remember.
I think it suits me."
:46:36
"I wear a leather belt, belonging
perhaps to one of my brothers."
:46:41
"I do not recall the shoes
I wore during those years,
:46:44
only certain dresses."
:46:47
"Mostly, I am barefoot
with canvas sandals."
:46:51
"That day I must wear
those high-heels in gold lamé."
:46:56
"I don't see what else
I could have worn that day."
