Why thank you, citoyenne. (Though--and don't take this as if it's directed against you personally: it's meant to be general--it would be nice if people would comment on individual parts they find interesting/strange/something else entirely...)

As luck would have it, I had Babet's memoirs about half-translated already and I took a break from Charlotte's to finish them, so they're already done. Should I feel bad for so monopolizing the comm though?
