Excerpts

"Co tady ještě děláš!" Její hlas nebyl zlý, ale nebyl ani přívětivý; Sylvie se hněvala.
"A kde bych měla být?" zeptala se Irena.
"Doma!"
"Chceš říct, že tady už nejsem doma?"
Ovšem, nechtěla ji vyhánět z Francie, ani jí naznačovat, že je nežádoucí cizinka: "Ty víš, co chci říct!"
Page 9, added by kucharczyk.

It introduces the central theme of the whole book.
