notes from les enfants terribles (1949)
* some rotter hit him with a snowball
* she shows him she's been practicing by flinging her legs in the air
* private language
* this was their treasure - impossible to describe
* now sleep, idiot
* doctor throws his satchel on patient in brusque manner
* elisabeth waits outside, bathed in light, like jeanne d'arc
* we hear the hearbeat of her darling
* this room was a shell in which they lived, dressed, washed, like two members of the same body
* the doctor promised us nurses, i'll only go out for books and lemonade
* regardez, j'hypnotise
* headmasters office - flock wallpaper and pigeonholes
* dargelos throwing pepper
* elisabeth hates violets
* weak from snowball attack, paul sleepwalks for the first time
* mother dies an outlandish death, sitting up, open mouthed in chair
* paul listens to his own heart
* si seulement ils pourraient visiter le bord de la mer
* from shrew to nurse
* pretending to know about travelling by taking a heap of luggage
* velvety ladders to the top bunk
* clothes peg for grecian profile
* causing mischief in the cafe and up to no good in the gift shop
* staying off school, going on holiday, not leaving bed
* paul with his milk and towels, elisabeth with her magazines and face creams
* crayfish under bed in bowl
* cinzano inexplicably on breakfast table
* boxers, detectives, stars
* queen of all idiots
* strange gallery that leads nowhere
* speaks in french, sings in english, soon to die
* a never-built winter garden
* they moved to pauls room (the mysterious gallery) unable to resist the artificial roomscape
* lise's schemes
* the little goose and the nice boy
* dargelos had indian, chinese and mexican poisons
* he called paul, 'snowball'
* pestilence and geraniums
* blue carpet, polka-dot robe and damp woods
* bows on shoulders
* elisabeth's hideous mechanisms were exposed
* bang!
