Image 2 - Pierre Édouard Frère French Painter - Under My Umbrella
Voices Constes Sponsored by Eve Roper 09/13/24
I'd borrowed Pa’s umbrella to shelter from the rain, alas one spoke is now broken I’m scared that Pa’s will go insane! My best friend Jacques was with me when there was a sudden squall, I tried to hold onto the umbrella but it crashed hard against a wall. So Jacques is walking by my side and he will take me to my door, he’ll tell Pa HE broke the umbrella - he’s covered my back once before! He knows Pa’s got a terrible temper but Pa is friendly with Jacques dad, who is the senior village policeman so Pa won’t dare do anything bad! I’ve not told my Pa my secret Jacques is my first boyfriend, he won’t let my Pa cause trouble on Jacques I can always depend.
