Claire

A French waitress with short hair and an eager demeanour.  She tells me she doesn't have one.  'I think my parents were trying to punish me', she says.  She gives me, instead, her older sister's who works for the French equivalent of the RSPCA.  She has been in London for two years but is fed up and about to go and work on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.  I tell her that sounds nice.
