I mean when you when you came in

this is very good the French presence in

Indo China I didn't catch it at first

the spilling of presence very clever

French has

gifts I thought about that for some time

yes that what was your point here dear

boy stealing is justified by

poverty I'm not sure the company would

agree

you realize we can't always you know

agree with the company what I was

thinking of was along the lines

of you know what you did for that boy

the one who stole the knives you dropped

the charges

because he had nothing perhaps you

misunderstand in this part of the world

you need to be seen to be in charge not

just by the workers but by the police as

well

H uh

husband yes I know it's very

good wait till he sees your

that your writing does not please me but

it is for the Europeans not for the that
