Francine looked at the flying ship with a mixture of wonder and fear. He still wondered how he would drive her to Paris. The decision to leave had been made the day before and the little girl, in the meantime, had planned her escape down to the smallest detail. She went over her to-do list in her head, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Luggage: get ready, a bag with some change and some books. Money: a few shillings, it was in his pocket. Supplies: bread, jam and biscuits in the tin lunch box, already stuffed in the suitcase. Letter: already written to parents. He would have put it in sight before leaving. Chérie: lockable wicker basket for the prepared cat. He would just have to convince her to come in without being heard by all of London.
Yes, he hadn't forgotten anything. At least she hoped. What does a little girl who decides to leave for Paris by airship normally take with her?, she asked herself. But perhaps, as a rule , no little girl goes to Phone Number Data Paris by airship, she agreed. Mr and Mrs Glissant remained for a few more minutes watching the airship, then took another tour of the stalls and carousels and finally, together with their daughter, set off home. Escape plans “It's simple,” Jacques had said. Francine doubted that anything was impossible for her friend. The day before the fair they had a long chat about how to prepare for the trip to Paris. “First, make a list of what you need to bring,” Jacques had advised her. «Please, not the whole house, Francine!» "Well," she replied, "I wouldn't even know how to transport it to the fair..." “You never know with you women.
I'm not like other women, Jacques," Francine resented. «Then», Jacques continued, «at one in the morning, when your parents are asleep, you go out and go to the fair. You said it would take you two hours, right?” “It's almost six miles!” Francine replied. «I hope to do it in two hours. And not to meet any policemen." “Good,” Jacques had said. «Calculating an average airship speed of 70 miles per hour and considering a distance of about 220 miles between London and Paris, you should get by with more or less three hours of flight. You'll be here at six in the morning." “I hope I don't fall asleep,” Francine said, a little worried. "I'll keep you awake, don't worry," Jacques assured her. Francine, sitting on the bed in her room, thought about her escape plans and sighed. The trip to the fair had ended and the Glissant family, after dinner, was preparing to rest. Mrs. Gloria said goodnight to the little girl and so did Mr. Delmar. When they left the room, Francine took the letter she had written to her parents from under the pillow and reread it for the last time.
