"Heavy showers, with thunderstorms, may be expected to-day," it would say on Monday, and so we would give up our picnic, and stop indoors all day, waiting for the rain. - And people would pass the house, going off in wagonettes and coaches as jolly and merry as could be, the sun shining out, and not a cloud to be seen.
Aussi renonçâmesnous a notre projet de pique-niquer et restâmes-nous enfermés toute la journée, a attendre la pluie. Cependant, les gens passaient devant la maison, en carrioles et cabriolets, aussi joyeux qu’il est possible, sous un soleil resplendissant et un ciel sans un nuage.
