"What on earth could this be?" he thought to himself. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a schedule, dividing morning bathroom time between James and his host sister. He smiled to himself at the only explanation offered by the piece of paper, "MERCI" written in all capital letters, it took up more space on the page than the actual schedule did.
He considered attempting to spread democracy (as is the duty of every American traveling abroad) by suggesting that he be allowed to have a say in his time allotment, however, after actually reading the schedule, it became clear that everything on it was perfectly fair.
A pang in his stomach distracted James from his embarrassment at having to be reminded by a sheet of paper that his host sister is, in fact, a nice person, and turned his attention instead to coffee and an apple.
