As he went away, Mouquet met his father, old Mouque, who was also coming out of the Voreux. The two men simply wished each other good evening, the son taking the main road while the father went along by the canal.
Mouquet, en s'en allant, se rencontra avec son pere, le vieux Mouque, qui sortait aussi du Voreux; et les deux hommes se dirent simplement bonsoir, le fils prit la grande route, tandis que le pere filait le long du canal.
