I mention this small episode because it assumes some importance in view of the tragedy which followed, but I was convinced at the time that the matter was entirely trivial and that his excitement had no justification.
Je mentionne cet épisode parce qu’il revêt une certaine importance étant donné la tragédie qui s’ensuivit, mais sur le moment j’étais persuadé que rien ne justifiait une si forte émotion.
