A Hilltop on the Marne

Mildred Aldrich

Capitolo 85

I saw Amelie that is standing there, I felt that I needed the sense of anything
living near me.  Then I said me, "Amelie, you want to do me a great
service?"

You said her 'd likes to try.

"Did I respond then", well, not "he/she wants to sleep here to-night?"
