Amélie remarked in conversation that up to now Tony and Julian have handled me gently — at which I flared up.Amélie a dit en causant que jusqu’à présent Tony et Julian m’ont ménagée, là-dessus je suis partie.
A friendly-stormy discussion, but I was so worked up that I was almost crying, just a little more...
Une discussion amicalement orageuse, mais j’étais si montée que je pleurais presque, encore un peu...
Really, when one has been working for three years and someone comes and tells you that all the encouragement you received was only kid-glove handling! Well, fortunately I know what Tony says, and that is enough.
Aussi quand on travaille depuis trois ans et qu’on vient vous dire que les encouragements reçus n’ont été que des ménagements ! Enfin, heureusement, je sais que Tony dit, c’est assez.
