Auntie Angela had put me on the boat train at Victoria and after what seemed like an endless
journey, I reached Paris at midday the next day. I climbed awkwardly down from my carriage
with my heavy suitcase painfully bumping my shins. For two frozen minutes, I stood listening to
the station announcements that I couldn’t understand at all. I began to think about my home which
I left behind. Then suddenly a woman appeared. She said in strong accented English that I must
be Sadie Thompson, embraced me tightly and I felt so relieved and protected, that my eyes just
filled with tears. She told me she was a friend of a friend of my father’s. She took me to a bar and
then there was another train and a night in a stuffy compartment.
Next morning I looked out of the window and saw the Mediterranean for the first time.
Philippe Lesert was waiting to meet me at the station. He took my suitcase as if it weighed
nothing and opened the passenger door of a dusty car for me. He spoke a little English. He was
eighteen, five years older than me, and because of the suitcase-carrying and door-opening, and
also because of the way he talked to me as if I were one of his friends and not just some
inconvenience, I already thought he was wonderful.
We drove away from the coast and after a while came to a halt outside a house set in fields full
of flowers. Although the house was ugly, too tall for its width, it had those charming pistachio-
green shutters, tubs of marigolds, and kitchen herbs at the back steps, so familiar that it made me
feel at home. Philippe opened the car door for me again as if I were someone who mattered.
I stepped out and the cool, elegant scent of jasmine filled my head with wonder and I said in
amazement, “Oh.”
“Is strong, yes?” Philippe laughed.
Madame Lesert came down the steps to welcome me. She was wearing a coarse apron and
wiping her big hands on a cloth. She was a widow who ran her husband’s fields of flowers grown
for the perfume industry with autocratic efficiency. She didn’t speak a word of English. Since
I had been travelling for over thirty-six hours, I only managed a watery smile. She took me to my
bedroom.
When I unpacked, Philippe called to say that dinner was ready. I sat opposite him and next to
Madame, and we ate plain tomato salad that tasted of pure sunshine. They must have seen how
exhausted I was because they didn't ask questions or bewilder me with information. They ate
slowly, exchanging a few calm words in such soft voices that I knew at once that this was how
they always behaved and that I too was accepted. I listened and watched them in total
astonishment and felt some of the stiffness leak out of my body.
I soon discovered that the days followed a very simple routine, which was a welcome change
after the loneliness and uncertainty of life at home with my father. I voluntarily attended to
the household chores, sweeping the stone floors, washing dishes and feeding the hens. None of
this felt like work. With the exception of Sundays every day at the Leserts was the same.
I didn’t hear from my father, but Madame assured me, with Philippe’s help, that he was
occupied with his business and all would be well. And because I was happy with the Leserts
I accepted what I was told and didn't speculate any further. I couldn’t have guessed at that time
that they had tried to save me from the humiliation of knowing that my father had been arrested.
