Célestine, hanging on the door 70 cm from the floor, bursts into Ernest's room, ready for mischief. Both seem amused by the quirkiness of the situation; usually, it's Ernest who shakes Célestine from her bed and disappears, hoping that Ernest will leave and forget to wake her. All this order is disconcerting: this must be an exceptional day, nothing is as usual, though... The great ambient mess seems to have been picked up very quickly and placed in a cardboard box at the foot of her bed.
