I looked on my end as well, but I also can't get my hands back on the postcards Lucien sent. To be fair, this attic is even more of a mess than the one in the Oise house! Not to mention the outbuilding, which turned up quite a few oddities of its own â but Iâll tell you more about that once Iâve managed to make some sense of it.
Marc-Antoine « A lâautomne, si tout se passe bien, nous serons dans lâest, et tant mieux. Avez-vous envie de passer les Ardennes ou les Vosges en plein hiver ? »
Paul « Ouais⊠NâempĂȘche quâil faut rester vigilant quand mĂȘme. »
Paul « Vous avez entendu ? »
Marc-Antoine « Quoi ? »
Paul « Je suis pas sur, mais ça ressemblait Ă un cri je crois. Oh vous savez quoi ? Laissez tomber, ça doit encore ĂȘtre le bruit des tirs qui fait siffler mes oreilles. Sai completament crebat*...  »
Anna « Je dois tâaider Ă faire tes courses, câest ça ? »
Elisabeth « En fait oui, et je me disais quâavec un peu de chance ma sĆur y verrait une occasion de passer un peu de temps ensemble. Je ne peux pas tout faire toute seule dans cette maison, Anna. »
Anna « Tu nâes pas la seule Ă ĂȘtre utile ici, tu sais. »
Elisabeth « Anna, je crois que je nâarriverais jamais Ă comprendre en quoi ce que tu fais peut-ĂȘtre si essentiel, surtout si tu refuses de mâen parler. Mais ce nâest pas le sujet. Tu veux bien mâaider ? »

When I watch the twins grow, in both their good and bad ways, I often wonder what Charles will become. At six years old, a childâs mind is still malleable and ever-changing, and I havenât lost hope that, if not in his features, I might one day find traces of his fatherâs character in him. However, I am convinced that he will have his fatherâs voice. He already has the same tone when he laughs, and it moves me deeply every time.
I see more of him in the twinsâ expressions. Elisabeth smiles like he did and tilts her head when sheâs touched, just as he used to. Anna, true to herself, has adopted his way of rolling her eyes.
Anna: "Itâs really a shame you never got to know him. He was the best father you could dream of. Well, he could be a bit strict sometimes, but thatâs necessary to raise children. He played a lot with Lili and me. In the evenings, he always saved some time so we could play ball in front of the distillery. Once, we even almost hit Grandfather Adelphe when he was coming out with a big barrel."
Anna: "You donât even look much like him, either. Well, none of us really do, which is such a shame. I like my eyes, but I wish they were gray like his. And to have his smile too."
Charles: "Mom says I laugh a bit like him. After that, she cried."
Anna: "I hope sheâs right, because I miss that laugh so much. But Iâm not going to cry, donât worry. Itâs just that you constantly remind me of Dad. Will you laugh for me, please?"
Louise: "But what are we going to do?"
Anna: "It's simple. We move everything somewhere else and carry on. Besides, we've already cleaned up this place pretty well."
Louise: "Invisibility spells won't do any good."
Anna: "Oh, of course not. I'll just say I have a strange hobby and that I'm interested in chemistry. Which isn't entirely untrue. Mom won't make a fuss. You take care of Lili."
Louise: "How do you mean?"
Anna: "She still sees you as a sweet little girl, so use that. That way she won't start poking through our things."
Anna: "Everyone around here paid, you know. But there are others â the ones who gave the orders. We'll find them, and deal with them."
Louise: "You're right. The ones who killed Mom⊠And then there are those blood-drinking monsters I saw in your book. Do you think they really exist?"
Anna: "Everything we've tried so far has turned out to be true, so of course. But those can wait â we'll deal with them later. Justice first."
Louise: "Anna, I think we should really tell Lili. It would be easier if the three of us knew."
Anna: "Lili doesn't have the stomach for it."
Louise: "But⊠I'm tired of lying to her. Aren't you?"
Anna: "Of course I am! But she won't understand that it's necessary. She can't understand. It's up to us to get our hands dirty so others don't have to. I avenge my father, for my mother, my sister and my brother. You avenge your mother, for your father and your brothers. Someone has to do it in this family!"
You asked me whether I had indeed opened a branch of the business, and I can now say that it is done. We purchased a small pre-existing hillside vineyard, though it must be said that its quality is not exceptional. We have therefore grafted many vines from the Butte aux ChĂȘnes, hoping they will adapt to this soil. For the moment, the results are rather encouraging. In truth, we still depend almost entirely on the income from the main estate, managed by my uncle Adelphe. Locally, we carried out a small harvest and are now bottling a modest production of cider made from an orchard I bought at the same time as our new house. We have also acquired several parcels of land to replant our vines, but I do not expect any profitability for at least a few years.
I also brought a few people with me â mostly distant cousins, including two descendants of your Aunt Jeanne. I owe that largely to Antoine, who managed to persuade them, and I admit that it comforts me to have familiar faces around me. For that reason, I cannot view Agathonâs attachment to Sonia as anything but something familiar. Perhaps there exists between them a kind of friendship that has never been apparent to you?
