大约6个月前，我对西班牙出发，我第一次见到，其士葛耶。虽然我很少辞去我的退却，仍然关心我在我孩子的福利感到引发我偶尔进行短期旅行，其中，不过，我参加了良好的照顾，尽可能缩短。
    有一天我从鲁昂，在那里我已经回国，在她的要求，参加一个原因，然后在诺曼底议会悬而未决，尊重遗产，而我已要求我的外祖父所得。经采取埃夫勒，我在那里睡的第一天晚上，我在路上就在第二天，一起去吃晚餐时间，达到帕西，五，六联赛的距离。我很惊讶，在进入这个安静的小镇，看到所有的居民在骚乱。他们在人群中浇注从他们的房屋，对一个小旅店门口，立即在它面前，两条有盖货车被制定出来。他们仍然在利用马匹，从疲劳和热酒气，结果表明，随从刚刚抵达。我停止了一会儿，了解了骚动的原因，但可以从中获益不奇怪，因为他们赶到了暴徒，不顾我的查询的资料很少，并加速实现在最混乱旅店不耐烦。终于，一个公民后卫射手，穿着他的班多利尔，手持卡宾枪在他的肩上，在门口出现，所以，他向我招手，我恳求知道轩然大波的原因。 “没有，先生，”他说，“但一打脆弱的姐妹，我与我的同志进行到哈佛德，恩，从那里我们为美国运送他们。有一或两个漂亮足够和它是，很显然，这吸引了这些善良的人的好奇心。“
