About This Book
I’m amazed no English language publisher has picked up on Gibrat’s two World War II adventure books. That being the case, though, I’ll give them a go. My French really isn’t up to much, so this will be heavily reliant on a dictionary. Anyone should feel free to correct things. The numbering corresponds to book page numbers, not story page numbers.

[6:3] Good.
[6:4] I hope God’s in the luggage, because he’ll not be happy with the ground.
[6:5] Remarkable, with two on a bicycle it easily picks up speed.If Angèle doesn’t watch out she’ll end up on her head.
[6:6] Angèle is my Aunt. She raised me well.

[7:1] Everyone says that she’s worried about me since the day I was born.
And I figure she’s not finished yet.
[7:2] When I went catching crayfish at night she always kicked up a fuss.
[7:3] Poor Angéle
[7:4] I know you came to regret the time the river police visited.
[7:5] But today it’s the militia and the police who’re after me.
[7:6] Ah, there you are Pépère.

[8:1] Yes, you’re lovely Pépère.
[8:2] Yes, yes, you’re lovely, but let me sleep now. I’ve been walking for two days and two nights. We can play tomorrow.
[8:3] Angèle: Julien! How did you get in?
Julien: Through the window.
[8:4] Angèle: Through the window? What an idea!
Julien: I didn’t want to wake you.
[8:5] That’s considerate, but it’s not safe. You could have killed yourself.
Julien: It’s you that’s not safe sleeping with the window open. Anyone could get in.
[8:6] Angèle: I’ve got Pépère as always.
Julien: You don’t say.
[8:7] Julien: If I hadn’t stepped on his tail he’d still be sleeping.
Angèle: You poor thing. It’s true he’s no longer young.
[8:8] Angèle: He’s getting a little grey,like me. I thought you were leaving for Germany yesterday. I’m sure you’ve not had breakfast.

[9:1] Julien: About Germany… I’m not going.
Angèle: How? They’re exempt? Do want coffee? It’s proper coffee you know.
[9:2] No, it’s me that’s exempt.
[9:3] Angèle: Good. And you’re allowed to do that?
Julien: It’s a good problem, that.
[9:4] Angèle: Yes, it’s a fine one. What do you want me to do?
Julien: Hide me at yours. If they catch me they won’t let me jump off the train a second time. They’ll send me direct to the salt mines in Silesia.
[9:5] Angèle: At least no-one saw you.
Julien: Don’t worry about that. Apart from Pépère, but you won’t say anything, will you Pépère?
[9:6] You’ve been so clever. You started by leaving your case outside.
