I was foolish enough to show annoyance. I could no longer leave the house in the morning to go and enjoy the beauty of our mountain scenery, without meeting some bore who would interrupt my thoughts with an unpleasant reminder of my fellow men and their evil ways.
Je ne puis plus sortir le matin pour aller jouir de la beauté de nos montagnes sans trouver quelque ennui qui me tire de mes rêveries et me rappelle désagréablement les hommes et leur méchanceté.
