Guests
Gaspard
What they say
Coming in: "(He is trapped in an invisible box. He finds the door. He is in.)"
Pleased: "(He clutches his heart, falls over, gets up, and applauds silently.)"
So-so: "(He wobbles a flat hand: so-so. Then he pats your arm, kindly.)"
Disappointed: "(He mimes a small funeral. It is tasteful.)"
How they order
Gaspard has 2 written orders of their own. A few of them:
"(He taps a tree for syrup, cracks a nut. A pointy hat. A sunbeam.)"
In plain words: Maple syrup and hazelnuts. A triangle. Golden.
— that is L'Écureuil
"(He milks a goat, chews a leaf. He rolls up a rug. A sunbeam.)"
In plain words: Goat's cheese and spinach. Rolled. Golden.
— that is La Bergère
After the first ten days they also make up orders in their own voice. Not sure? Ask "Pardon?" or "What do you mean?": see orders.
Crêpes they love
Their face is on those pages of the notebook.
Presents from the pedlar
From Yann the pedlar's cart: a pair of white gloves and an invisible box, gift-wrapped.
Friendship and presents
Spoiler What Gaspard brings as you become friends
As you become friends:
- A regular: "(He mimes hanging his coat on a hook that is, by now, his.)"
- A friend: "(He mimes knocking, wiping his feet, and being very welcome.)"
- A dear friend: "(He mimes a small medal and pins it, gravely, on your apron.)"
- Family: "(He ties an invisible rope from your counter to his heart.)"
From the Place du Marché: A real enamel jug of real mimosa, for the counter. He mimes that it is nothing.
