"No I stayt another month to help my host family. My host name is Arthur and he has a très triste chien. Je l'aide à nettoyer sa caravane. He has a very sad dog and I help him clean his trailer."
Oh brother, are we going to get three months of young Charles Boyer translating from French to English? Is KM taking French lessons and trying them out on us? Sr. Margaret Therese would have had this guy in detention for hours if he did this to her.
I'm waiting for him to say "Ah, ma belle Dawn, come with me to ze Casbah."
You know, I can't help thinking that KM has found a rather ingenious way of dragging out a "storyline." In addition to endless recapping and boring pointless conversations full of platitudes and zero content, she now can have an ESL speaker say things twice.
"It was always my dream to leave ze Sorbonne and spend a year at ze Community College de Santa Royale. "
So Dawn took a Chinbeard class after Beautiful Italy? I wonder if she saw Smoking Girl flirt with Chinbeard and realized how she looked with Harlan Jones?
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
Hugo’s first mistake is thinking Dawn speaks English.

I understand this storyline completely, insofar as Hugo refuses to make eye contact with Dawn.

ReplyDeleteMaybe Hugo will take Dawn to dinner at L'Escargot Mesonger and they'll run into his hosts, Dr. Ned Fletcher and his wife.
