Quotes 

• Victoire - la cuisinière : What kind of school is divided into two sides? Yes, I've heard them. Between the Julists and the Carists.

• Victoire - la cuisinière : It was all laughs, races, kind words and sweet gestures. They were as joyous as their pupils. Never a reproach. Not one! And when they cried, my dear, they shed tears of joy. Who would believe it now? Now is now.
