Robinel whom I read so much when I was a child because it was one of the books of our house and whom I consider you her cousin but a Parisian lady beside an important farmer's wife and then also but this time I will shock you. I bring you close to Michelet's books whose ""mare-polemicist"" well knows the impulses and taste. In the midst of his crowds he clearly marked how the man of action needs the French countryside. No doubt that you hardly have the little patient but how did he surprise you so suddenly and reduce you to surgical intervention within two hours you who monitor and defy in your streams of hot soapy water the fierce microbes Excuse me this teasing that I would deeply regret if I did not think if I were not sure that you are beyond worry.
