I started working on this
story way back before season one had even ended. Hence, I do not have the canon last names for the characters. I hope you
will let that slide...I kind of like the last names I made up!
The name "Eilis" is the Gaelic form of Elizabeth,
and is pronounced "eye-liss."
The spellings used here are the original French ones.
Speaking of French, here's some French translation:
Oui, monsieur.
Je parle français pour les huit ans.
Yes, sir. I have been speaking French for eight years.
Je ne donnez-vous
pas la spaghetti.
I'm not giving you spaghetti.
