Talk:Le Baptême (short story)

Is Father K a priest, who's son is being baptized and who is being asked to be the godfather?
Can someone more in the know explain the following statement: "Father Kérandec, his gardener, comes and asks him to be the godfather to his son."Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 00:01, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Le jardinier de Dr Kérandec demande au médecin d'être le parrain de son fils?

Je suis désolé que mon français est pas aussi avancé que je voudrais, mais ce que je reçois de le résumé original en français est que le jardinier du Dr Kérandec demande au médecin d'être le parrain de son fils? Non pas que le Père Kérandec (qui pourrait être confondu pour un prêtre, soit a un fils ou a beern demandé d'être le parrain du fils du jardinier?Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 00:18, 13 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd say it's rather obvious that Kérandec is the old navy doctor's gardener and father of a son (not "Father" in a religious meaning), and Kérandec asks the doctor to become the godfather of Kérandec's son. Huon (talk) 00:37, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Is this on assumption or do you know the story? I would rather rely on someone who know the story which if that is the situation what is translated in the English/American WP is not expressed that way. But I can see how convoluted the translation might appear if that translation was not very good.Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 02:47, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
