Beeeeuhh, Auni.....Tu es héroïne!

After listening wide-eyed to the tale of the fire and how I put it out, my former French professor--a little woman with a penchant for the dramatic--declared :

"Beeeeuhh, Auni.....Tu es héroïne ! Tu portes maintenant un auréole sur la tête !"

Translated: "Beeeeuhh, Auni.....You're now a heroine! You're walking around with a halo around your head!"

Why, thank you, MC (short for Marie-Christine, but we all call her that). I quite agree. And boy, is that a welcome statement after all the shit I've been putting up with from the landlady this past week. I just have to keep reminding myself of the halo.
