If people can't take a hint, they have to save themselves from the faux pas. You did your best for Manon.

I think you're probably right, Mademoiselle, I wouldn't unwrap a Mummy
I'd save him for later.

I bet if you were a mummy wrapper in ancient Egypt, Blanche ...
one thing you would constantly find yourself telling people would be, "Be sure, before I start, you have all the jewelery and so forth on the body, because I am not unwrapping him later."

Sorry, T ...
Manon doesn't go that route.
I don't think.

I wouldn't say it was dead, Mademoiselle,
merely
resting. On the other hand, maybe it was mummified to look that way.

perhaps it would be helpful if you made manon look at other students
while you pointed out all of their mistakes, maybe then she'd see. honestly, she needs to learn how invaluable you are.

I'd like to meet Manon.
By that I mean, I want to see how ugly her dress was, of course. Naturally.

Well that's obivous.
It's because you're the bigger person, of course.

I know, Strat!
She's such a witch!
Frankly, I don't know why I'm even still friends with her!

You may have saved her from a major fashion mistake
and lingering embarassment. Some people are so ungrateful.
