But the Doctor was kind enough to offer us his gig, and Martin here has driven us home.\"",

D’abord, les chemins sont si mauvais, qu’il a fallu près de deux heures pour venir de Bayeux. Puis, à Arromanches, voilà qu’un cheval de Malivoire se casse une patte ; et il n’a pu nous en donner un autre, j’ai vu le moment qu’il nous faudrait coucher chez lui… Enfin, le docteur a eu l’obligeance de nous prêter son cabriolet.
