Who told you that? Laval?

Wading out into the water

begging the boats to come back for them.

But did the British come back?

Did they?

Im only a chambermaid, but if

somebody yell for me I come.

Its only a towel they want

When I came to, it seemed as though

the whole hotel was on top of me.

Yes sir, but look at him, look at

his eyes. Hes so sick.

Yes, it took me eight hours

to dig myself out.

You see, its not very easy for me.

Yes, he screamed, sir. He screamed,

but we didnt hear.

Come on.

Against the nearest wall,

You know, I would almost believe

you were a waiter.

I am a waiter.
