Fabrice

What they say

Coming in: "The rain hadn't started yet. He walked in anyway."

Pleased: "It was perfect. He hated that. Now he'd have to write about it."

So-so: "It was a crêpe. Like him, it had seen better days."

Disappointed: "Somebody had done this crêpe wrong. He'd find out who. (It was you. He knows.)"

How they order

Fabrice has 2 written orders of their own. A few of them:

"Chocolate, dark shavings, cream. A square. Crisp. He liked it dark."

In plain words: Chocolate-hazelnut, chocolate shavings and whipped cream. A square envelope. Crisp.

— that is La Forêt-Noire

"Onions, lardons, crème fraîche. Sealed on four sides. Golden. No witnesses."

In plain words: Onion confit, lardons and crème fraîche. A square envelope. Golden.

— that is La Flammekueche

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 typewriter ribbon and a squared notebook.

Friendship and presents

Spoiler What Fabrice brings as you become friends

As you become friends:

  • A regular: "He came back. He always came back. It was that kind of place."
  • A friend: "She knew his order. He pretended to be annoyed. He was not."
  • A dear friend: "Chapter nine was about a crêperie. He changed the name. Barely."
  • Family: "He dedicated the book to a crêperie. The publisher wept."

Back in the notebook: La Forestière. On the back, a library stamp: 'DUE BACK 14 MARCH 1994'.

Guaranteed to come in on day 5 of the first ten days.
