What do you hear from your daughter, Fairchild?Sabrina · 1954 — 第 3 / 18 章 · 2'07" · B1
The cooking exam is a cover story. A teacher praises a baron — "you have not lost your touch" — then turns to Sabrina and reads her fallen soufflé as a confession: "you are unhappily in love." Meanwhile, back home, her father tries to pretend she's over David, and nobody believes him.
At Sabrina's cooking school in Paris, the class presents soufflés for inspection. The instructor sizes up each one — "too low," "too pale," "so-so" — and praises an older student: "My dear Baron, you have not lost your touch." Then he stops at Sabrina, whose soufflé never rose, and names the real problem.

I mean, she loves the cooking school, sir.recover from it
Fairchild softens the confession at once, insisting the girl will get over it.

Too pale.just average — Casual verdict; too loose for formal settings.
So-so.lost your skill
After the demonstration, someone flatters the teacher that his skill has not faded at all.
My dear Baron, you have not lost your touch.what went on
- I don't know what happened. - I will tell you what happened.switch the oven on
The teacher names the real cause at once: she forgot to turn on the oven.
You forgot to turn on the oven.for quite a while

You're in love.push the point further
Having said she is in love, the teacher asks leave to push one step further and adds the painful part.
And I will venture to go a step further, you are unhappily in love.parenthetical remark: The clause sits before the verdict and asks leave to say something bold.
And I will venture to go a step further, you are unhappily in love.is it visible
- Does it show? - Very clearly.The soufflé is the whole trick of the scene. The instructor never asks Sabrina a personal question; he reads her dessert and delivers a verdict: "Your mind has not been on the cooking. Your mind has been elsewhere." Then he goes further — "you are unhappily in love" — and she can only ask, "Does it show?" The exam format lets him say, under the cover of grading, what nobody in her family will say out loud. Back at the Larrabee house, the same subject is handled with euphemism: Fairchild reports that his daughter "still loves him," then hurriedly corrects it to the cooking school. The contrast is the point — Paris names the feeling, the family talks around it.
- She still loves him. - I beg your pardon?Fairchild slips and says his daughter still loves David, then pretends he meant the cooking school. "I beg your pardon?" is the polite, startled "what did you say?"
You have five seconds, four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second!The instructor runs a dramatic countdown, turning a cooking exam into a race — five, four, three, two, one — before the soufflés go in.
My dear Baron, you have not lost your touch.A compliment to an older student: the Baron can still cook. "Lost your touch" means a skill has gone rusty, so "not lost your touch" is high praise.
You forgot to turn on the oven.Blunt diagnosis: the student's soufflé failed because the oven was never switched on. No excuses, just the missing step.
I've been watching you for a long time, mademoiselle.The instructor has been quietly studying Sabrina the whole time — she's been distracted, and he's about to say why.
And I will venture to go a step further, you are unhappily in love.He pushes his guess one step beyond "you're in love": it's unhappy love. "Go a step further" means to add a bolder claim.
He's watched her for weeks. Her mind isn't on the cooking, and her soufflé failed because she forgot the oven — the tell is distraction, not the dessert itself.
He first lets slip that she still loves David, then catches himself in front of his employer. Saying she loves the cooking school is a quick save, and it doesn't fool anyone.
She forgot to turn on the oven. The instructor names it plainly, but he treats the failure as a symptom: her attention was elsewhere, on someone she can't stop thinking about.
Unhappily. He says a woman happily in love burns her soufflé, but Sabrina's never rose at all — so he concludes she's in love and that it's going badly.
Yes. His soufflé is the one the instructor calls "superb," and he's told he hasn't lost his touch — the class veteran who still has it.
