Only one episode interrupted the monotony of the first fortnight: a slight fever which kept him in bed for forty-eight hours with aching limbs and throbbing head, dreaming in a state of semi-delirium that he was pushing his tram in a passage that was so narrow that his body would not pass through.
Une seule aventure coupa la monotonie de la premiere quinzaine, une fievre éphémere qui le tint quarante-huit heures au lit, les membres brisés, la tete brulante, revassant, dans un demi-délire, qu'il poussait sa berline au fond d'une voie trop étroite, ou son corps ne pouvait passer.
