Excerpt from Witch Winnie at Versailles It was in this way that Winnie and her friends learned to know and love Versailles. Adelaide's father rented a little villa with a garden in the old Montreuil Quarter, not far from the palace. Mrs. Smith, Tib's mother, who had come to matronize the party, took charge of the housekeeping with the help of two white-capped French maids, Celestine and Mimi, and the three girls devoted themselves to their studies in art and history.
