Philippine – Comme j’étais sans papier, je ne pouvais même pas louer une chambre de bonne à mon nom… Alors Monsieur Charles m’a recueillie chez lui…
Bruno – Ce qui prouve sa générosité…
Philippine – En échange, j’effectuais quelques tâches ménagères…
Bruno – Je vois… De petits arrangements entre amis, somme toute…
Christelle – Monsieur Charles avait aussi recours à mes services lorsqu’il se sentait un peu seul, vous voyez ce que je veux dire…
Bruno – Bien sûr, vous lui faisiez la lecture le soir au coin du feu… Ou bien un petit massage de temps en temps pour le déstresser avant de passer un examen important…
Philippine – Oui, enfin…
Bruno (la coupant) – Alors justement, quel genre d’étudiant était-il ?

Philippine – Because I didn't have any identity papers, I couldn’t even rent a maid’s room in my own name . . . so Mr Charles took me in . . .
Bruno – Which just goes to show how generous he is . . .
Philippine – In return, I did a few household chores . . .
Bruno – I see… Just a bit of a friendly arrangement, really . . .
Christelle – Mr Charles also called on my services when he was feeling a bit lonely, if you know what I mean . . .
Bruno – Of course, you’d read to him in the evenings by the fire . . . or give him a little massage now and then to help him unwind before an important exam . . .
Philippine – Yes, well . . .
Bruno (cutting her off) – So, what sort of student was he exactly?
