V. THÈME - I. ÉTUDE DE MOTS

This little troupe is now on the road which leads to the mountain. I walk a long time in front of these three little dogs. Vitalis walks behind. From time to time I look at that little village down there. Mother Barberin is in that house at the bottom of the valley. Do I regret that man, Jerome Barberin? No, but I do regret that good woman, Mother Barberin.
