- Have you seen the children? - Last time [that] I checked, they were having fun in the garden [US: yard]. From here, we can see them playing hide and seek. Look at Johanna over there who's counting with her eyes closed, behind that tree ! - Yes, I see her now! And Samuel is hiding behind the same bush as Vincent! If Johanna finds one of them, the other one is toast! - But where has Lola gone? - She must have found a great hiding place. Do you remember the day when no one could find her? - I trust Johanna, she'll find her!
