I caught Saoirse our housemaid smoking in her room again

Smoking in the house has been expressly forbidden by my father

After opening the window I said that I was going to report her to my parents

She began to cry and asked of the Papin sisters who lived on Le Mans

I said that I did not know them and began to leave her room

She grabbed my wrist and said it would be to my advantage to have a knowledge of the sisters

Later Saoirse came to my room and asked me if I had reported her to my father

I said that I had not and she removed her socks and let me touch her misshapen feet
