[translated from Beaujeu, a book about Lacolle] The wind roared. The tempest of snows prevented the traveler from reaching the inn.. He knocks on the door of a nearby cabin. Upon opening the door, he finds the interior very plain. Before him, a table, a bench on one side with two little chairs on the other, and the master of the house sitting in a chair on the end. The stranger is invited to partake in a humble meal. In a corner of the one-room cabin, two children sleep in the bed, where ther curtains are drawn. After the meal, the parents delicately take the sleeping children and place them on the dirt floor. They invite the traveler to take a well-earned rest in the bed. He strongly protests, but accepts the invitation. When the first hours of the morning clear the window panes, the voyager wakes, on the ground, next to the children, while the masters of the house are settled comfortably in the bed.
Le vent souffle avec violence, la tempête de neige empêche le voyageur dàtteindre làuberge. Il frappe à la porte d'une cabane toute proche. En ouvrant la porte, il découvre l'intérieur très bas. Devant l'âtre une table, un banc d'un côté, deux petites chaises de l'autre et le maître de céans occupe le fauteuil au bout. L'étranger est invité â partager l'humble repas. Dans un coin de la salle, deux enfants dorment dans un lit, dont les rideaux sont tirés. Après le repas, les parents prennent délicatement les enfants endormis et les déposent sur le sol. Ils invitent le voyageur à prendre un repos bien mérité. Celui-ci proteste avec véhémence, mais accepte l'invitation. Quand les premières lueurs du matin éclairent les carreaux, le voyageur se réveille couché par terre, à côté des enfants, tandis que les maîtres sont installés confortablement dans le lit. |
