Brigette also
felt that Mijanou was unfairly singled out for special treatment
as the younger child. One day when her parents were out and the
maid was looking in the opposite direction, Brigette, who was
seven at the time and playing cowboys and indians with her two-year-old
sister, pulled the tablecloth from under her mother`s favourite
vase which went crashing to the floor and shattered into pieces.
The scene which followed is etched painfully in her memory. There
was a terrible gallic row followed by several cuffs around the
ear. `We children were then banished from the family circle. That
is to say we were told to address our parents formally as vous,
not tu from then on, because we weren`t worthy to be their
children. I was also given fifty whacks of the cane -
I was often caned - naturally the baby got less.
