You'll give me a big head... thank you!
My French is rusty, I left it behind at school at age 16, which is 35 years ago and have never had occasion to use it save in writing, so I do crave pardon and thank you. I have copied your corrections and pasted them to a document to use, when I come to go through and do my editor's edits as well. Letty should be moderately competent at French, being an accomplishment that was expected of girls of her class. You will find Leo having great fun later pretending to have very limited French indeed. Thank you, I will wait and do all my edits when I have all corrections possible...
