Wednesday, July 27, 2005 :::
 She smoked her cigarette and gazed thoughtfully at the neighbourhood down below the balcony. For half an hour she had been steadily regarding it, and for half an hour I had been slyly watching her. Something was going on in that mind of hers, and,
whatever it was, I knew it was well worth knowing. She had lived life, and seen things, and performed that prodigy of prodigies, namely, the turning of her back upon her own people, and, in so far as it was possible for an English girl, becoming a French woman even in her mental processes. As she phrased it herself, she had come into the province, sat among us, on Montreal wrought iron porches, and become one of us. She had learned to read and write. Her vocabulary was remarkable. What was remarkable still was the completeness with which she had assumed the peculiar French Canadian “joual”. The French attitude toward things, the same point of view.
We had arrived back from the ocean. A hard day on trail. The truck had been parked, the surfboards put away, the beds made, and we were now enjoying that most delicious hour that comes each day, and but once each day, the sun bathed the Mont Royal skyline, the hour when nothing intervenes between the tired body and bed save the smoking of the evening cigarette. Some former denizen of the Apartment had decorated its walls with illustrations torn from 1970’s Oui and playboy magazines, and it was these illustrations that had held my attention from the moment of our arrival two hours before. I studied them intently, ranging from one to another and back again, I wondered why she left them untouched on her walls. I could see that there was uncertainty in her mind, and bepuzzlement. I knew then that our romance wouldn’t last past the summer, but still the time was right and I beckoned her to join me in bed.
The seduction was complete.
We surely found in each other what was needed at the time.
