oh no! the sisters (who are like nuns) were horrified to see there was going to be WINE at the dinner "it's a witches sabbath!" but the next thing on the planned menu was TURTLE which made me feel equally horrified. anyhow they've made a pact to be neutral whatever they're forced to eat. (idk why, it means so much to babette, why not say it's good or lie? their reasoning escapes me)

okay now it's starting to move me.
after winning the lottery, the housemaid's one request of the two siblings is to let her cook a french meal and pay for it herself. (ah! that's such a nice gesture!) the siblings don't want her to spend her money on them but this seems to be something she wants very much (and she hasn't made any demands in all the years until now) so they've consented. i'm a bit hooked now

this is okay-ish. it's about two religious siblings who have taken in a housekeeper who is fleeing from france. the housekeeper has just won the lottery.

even though this is a short story there are ... i'm not sure if you can call them chapters? but there are headings on each section. i like this. it makes everything feel clear. being given direction of what to expect is grounding
