I've torn one of my skirts!

...So fix it. Or get another one.

I am going to fix it, mademoiselle. And it is but a small tear.

Unless you fell off a cliff or something, a piece of torn clothing usually isn't all that great a worry. Just sayin'.

I was merely surprised to see it! You needn't be harsh about it, really.

What happened? Are you all right, Cosette?

It is nothing, Papa! I'd tripped clumsily and my skirt was caught on something.

As long as you did not hurt yourself, my child.

*shakes her head* I'm not hurt! I am looking for a needle and thread, however.

Have you looked beside your chair? Where is your sewing basket?
