The story takes place in Salem, MA, during the Witch Trials. The scene is a 100% fictional inquisition by the non-fictional Reverend Parris of Salem Village.

As you may gather, I like to have some fun with the dialogue here and there. Link is below.

So it turns out the French actually invented metric, which I had no idea, lol. Colette does have occasional correspondence back home, and she originally came as a Royal Court spy. So it's conceivable shed learn about it and start using it because it's objectively simpler. But I'll fix it in the flashback scenes.
