It chanced that upon a fine morning in this same month of March, I think it was on Saturday the 29th, Saint Eustache's day, our young friend the student, Jehan Frollo du Moulin, perceived, as he was dressing himself, that his breeches, which contained his purse, gave out no metallic ring.
Il advint que par une belle matinée de ce même mois de mars, je crois que c’était le samedi 29, jour de saint Eustache, notre jeune ami l’écolier Jehan Frollo du Moulin s’aperçut en s’habillant que ses grègues qui contenaient sa bourse ne rendaient aucun son métallique.
