Alice:	I've	never	heard	that.
Mamoo:	Well I'm telling you. I told a lie.
You never saw Arthemise and Albert together at all, ever, I mean either conversing or-?
Mamoo: Never. Not in my recollections.
Alice:	I don't remember ever. And yet I think Bonnemama must have
been after the Christmas trees.
Mamoo:	yes I think she was.
Alice:	Grandpapa had an enormous Christmas tree. The tallest
Christmas tree that could go into the room because it was a very old fashioned room and the ceilings were very high. And he had it. It was his Christmas tree. He had the butler standing there with a bucket of water in case the candles caught fire or something and my mother did all of the shopping for him. She bought for every one of the olders and every one of the youngers and God knows that was a lot. But I think Bonnemama...
Mamoo:	I think she must have come and made an appearance, you
know. But she didn't stay.
Did you all every hear or know why they were estranged?
Mamoo:	No.
Alice:	No,	there was something there. I think	religion	had
something to	do with it. Because all of the first	children were
Protestant. All the second batch of children were Catholic. Fontaine has a theory on that.
Mamoo:	Well,	Fontaine doesn't know a thing in the world about	it.
Alice:	Well	you don't either. And I don't either.	So there	we
are.
Mamoo:	No, we don't really know. Not first hand.
Alice: The first were Protestant.
He was Protestant?
Alice: He was Protestant and she was Catholic.
