Mais chez les Epsilons, dit fort justement M. Foster, nous n’avons pas besoin d’intelligence humaine.
That sentence crystallizes the book’s central idea: a society that deliberately engineers some humans to be “non‑intelligent” so that the machine of stability can run smoothly has rejected the very thing that makes us fully human.
chez les Epsilons: “among Epsilons / when it comes to Epsilons,” i.e. for that caste.
La société est divisée en castes génétiquement modifiées.
***
*** Translation: Alternate Story ***
Bien que, pendant des années, les travaux scientifiques de M. Perdu aient eu pour objectif final de fournir à l’État un nombre suffisant d’Epsilons pour accomplir les tâches de rude travail physique, avec le progrès de la robotique et la miniaturisation des puces informatiques, le besoin de main-d’œuvre touchait à sa fin, puisque ces derniers devaient bientôt être remplacés par des robots dirigés par une intelligence artificielle, aussi bien dans les champs que sur les chaînes de production.
Although Mr. Perdu’s scientific work had for years aimed to provide the State with a sufficient number of Epsilons to perform arduous physical labor, the need for such manpower was drawing to a close with the advancement of robotics and the miniaturization of computer chips, as they were soon to be replaced by AI-controlled robots in both the fields and on production lines.

Revised English
A woman was in a small shop with a little girl, who was presumably her daughter, where materials such as satin, leather, and suede were sold. M. Perdue tried not to stare at the mother, so beautiful was she.

Compare history of New Orleans, LA with that of Galveston, TX – especially as it pertains to the street layout, architecture, and planning (if any) – link2-perplexity-ai – New Orleans begins as a tightly planned 18th‑century colonial city with a formal grid and plaza; Galveston is a 19th‑century boomtown port whose urban form is looser, shaped as much by speculative growth and catastrophic storms as by any overarching plan. The result is that New Orleans reads as an older, denser “continental” fabric (French–Spanish law of the Indies logic overlaid by later American planning), whereas Galveston presents an Anglo‑American Victorian mercantile grid, modified by elevation works and preservation after 1900. – New Orleans was founded in 1718 and deliberately laid out in 1721 by French military engineers – Galveston, by contrast, is a later creation: incorporated in 1839, it rose rapidly into the largest city in Texas and a prime Gulf port in the mid–late 19th century. Its platting follows the 19th‑century American model.

A room may contain furniture; it can also hold memories. – JL – 06-12-2026
It’s your journey with the Mad Hatter, but first your picture of peace stands guard in a room of antiques, forgotten in the shifting sunlight bound by walls.
All the while, outdoors the golden specter of sunlight shines about a shortened table, with your Alice and a bunny, your tea set and its herbs, and the foreshortened absurdity contrasting the quadrants of your quaint cottage.
The arms of a timepiece arrange the shut-in errata while you ready to go about your doings, your much ado, your taste of tea. Bunny pours more. Alice stands guard, a queen before her palace of reason.
We all create our such and such before the hours of the day, before the sun grows hot above the English countryside, while Earl Grey straitens and corners his crisp county papers, far from your concerns at present, and knowing the difference between friends, and guarding the depths of your heart.
Then I let you go on your journey, knowing the difference all the time, knowing yours and mine, having left long ago, but I shall keep the picture, my room of memories, as they change in the light, if not the light of day.
