Ma grand’mère était revenue de sa visite enthousiasmée par la maison qui donnait sur des jardins et où Mme de Villeparisis lui conseillait de louer, et aussi par un giletier et sa fille, qui avaient leur boutique dans la cour et chez qui elle était entrée demander qu’on fît un point à sa jupe qu’elle avait déchirée dans l’escalier. →
My grandmother had returned from the call full of praise for the house, which overlooked some gardens, and in which Mme. de Villeparisis had advised her to rent a flat; and also for a repairing tailor and his daughter, who kept a little shop in the courtyard, into which she had gone to ask them to put a stitch in her skirt, which she had torn on the staircase.
