1866.12.03.JeanneGigsAFrogPrivate - This event occurred during the later part of afternoon chores, when Cal and Shawn were racing frogs in the garden, and Jeanne and Minnie were working. If you think you'd be there, just let me know! <#jonah: If Cal and Shawn are goofing off, then it means that the linen work is basically done, so Ollie would be there. #>
<#court: This evening in the tower, Cal and Shawn come up and say thank you to Jeanne. They look somewhat impressed, and ask her about gigging a frog. In a combination of words and mime, Jeanne shows them. She goes back into the bedroom for a minute and comes back with her frogging gig, which she shows off and then returns. #>
<#ann: Late afternoon makes me think the kitchen is busy with dinner, so Celeste is probably not there. What do you do with the frog once it's dead? Bring it to the kitchen for cooking, try to build a fire and cook it yourself, hide the evidence? #>
<#court: Jeanne comes in the kitchen with a wet but clean frog, still bleeding a little from several holes. It looks as if it has been skewered several times. She has a quick conversation with Louis (in French) asking if he could use it for frog legs. He considers, looks a little amused, and says he could if he had more. Jeanne looks excited and hurries out of the kitchen. She returns later, muddy, with several more frogs, all with much neater and smaller holes. #>
<#bill: Is it clear why they are thanking you? I mean...were they being attacked by the frog? :-) #>
<#court: It is probably not clear at first blush, but if you ask, Cal or Shawn would probably end up answering. The gist is that Shawn had marked a frog with paint for racing, but it darted away after the race on an intercept-course with Mr. French. Jeanne gigging it probably saved him from a beating. #>
<#ann: Celeste has never actually eaten frog legs, so she is eager to try them. #><#jonah: Ollie is a bottomless pit in which to place frogs' legs. #>
