Hello dears,
Here is our new translation. It's quite easy and I hope you'll enjoy the simple style...
Translate into French, please:
That day it was cool and rainy. Anna decided that she had to buy shoes.We were going to a hotel in the Catskill
Mountains and she needed a pair of summer shoes. We had a neighbour who had a daughter of fifteen. The girl loved
our little Natasha. Her name was Dorothy. Anna had complete confidence in Dorothy, and she left Natasha with her.
Because of Anna’s lack of English, I accompanied her. She would never enter a store without buying something, so
as not to disappoint the merchant. But when it comes to footwear one cannot be too considerate.I was supposed to
see to it that she didn’t buy shoes that would be too tight or a pair that the salesman wanted to get rid of. We
lived on Second Avenue and Eighteenth Street, which was then considered uptown, and many we althy people had moved
into this neighbourhood. By this time I had become a dental technician. It was a new profession in America, and
it paid well. There were many shoe stores on the avenue and we window-shopped, passing from one to the other. After
a while I tired of the whole business. I had a laboratory in my apartment and I wanted to return to my work. Anna
had already bought socks and panties for the baby, and she gave them to me, saying, « If I don’t find the shoes I
want, perhaps I will try Fifth Avenue. »
Those were her last words to me. That was the last time I saw her. Many hours later, I informed the police. It was
evening . The Irish policeman considered the whole affair a joke and he advised me to wait until later that night,
or until the next morning.
