We were walking, all three of us, without noise on grass that was short and ever so slightly touched with yellow. Augustin had close to him on his right the girl whom he had thought forever lost.
Sur l’herbe courte et légèrement jaunie déjà, nous marchions tous les trois sans bruit : Augustin avait à sa droite près de lui la jeune fille qu’il avait crue perdue pour toujours.
