"In Search Of Justine Or Life At Boarding School"
A little intrigue: where is she in the photo, taken on a holiday in front of the main entrance, perhaps in the company of Hortense, her eldest. First the facts: we are talking about a young girl who attended the Berlaymont boarding school Clue: her geography notebook. Her big sister left us a notebook of correspondence. Question: why did Justine, with her superb calligraphy, botch the end of her exercise, or which child around her did she allow to scribble in her notebook or, Hortense and Justine have a little brother, much younger who took advantage of a family trip to draw in his sister's notebook Still frightening reading the document of the regular canonesses of the Order of Saint Augustine... (funny, I who am from there, I read “a vast garden where you breathe the pure air of the countryside….. uh if you go to Brussels, the place is the crossroads of the headquarters of the European communities…rue de la Loi, There is better pure air…-. The Luxembourg station had just been created.). Terrifying the dictates of the Catholic religion (the only one admitted). Yay on June 19, 1915, Feast of Madame la Prévote, the document begins with “long live Jesus” and the first exercise for piano is the danse macabre…. And what to think of the “fancy fair” day of June 20, 1915? The extract from the regulations concerning outings is just as appalling? The schedule for a typical day was drawn up by which of the two sisters? Then why are we in possession of an extract from the regulations for visits which dates from April 1904... Who noted the deaths in the list of the Ladies of Berlaymont dated from 1864 to 1871? I'm getting confused. I should stop watching episodes of Holmes, Poirot and other Agathas... Set of documents to read and meditate on... It used to be the good times...
