The old man was the grandfather, Bonneinort, who, as he worked during the night, slept by day, so that the bed was never cold; there was always someone snoring there.
Le vieux, c'était le grand-pere, Bonnemort, qui, travaillant la nuit, se couchait au jour; de sorte que le lit ne refroidissait pas, il y avait toujours dedans quelqu'un a ronfler.
