(From a French language collection of stories and legends from Picardie and northern France, © Presses de la Renaissance, 1975)
To be continued Having survived the root canal Friday last (whew!) and rather than live in dread of the next dental tortures I'm about to be subjected to, e.g., impressions and crown, I thought I'd distract myself by translating another story for you folks. And here I am, trying to beat the nasty cut-off habits of the machine by typing in a bit of pap at the end and |

Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: Hollowfox Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:39 PM Wow! What a story! I don't know about you, Auxiris, but I felt much better after my root canal. The worst is over, my friend. |

Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 10 Jul 01 - 05:41 PM What a good idea, Auxiris! |

Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: Auxiris Date: 11 Jul 01 - 05:14 PM Am still fighting with the translation at the moment. . . this story's one of the most difficult to translate yet. Should be posted by the weekend, if the dentist hasn't killed me with post-operative shock by then. . . (moan) Aux

Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: Hollowfox Date: 11 Jul 01 - 05:38 PM Take your time, my friend. The story deserves a well-crafted, well-considered translation, no matter how much we whimper. |
Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: GUEST,emily b Date: 11 Jul 01 - 06:01 PM Auxiris, This is wonderful. Please continue when you have a chance. I love stories. And what an intriguing title. Keep up the good work. Maybe someone will even come up with a song... Emily |
Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: Auxiris Date: 12 Jul 01 - 09:42 AM Good news, everyone! If it continues to rain during the afternoon and I can't mow the lawn, the end of the story should be ready to be posted by this evening. However, the lawn mowing does have priority and if the rain stops, I'll have to get back out there & finish off. I have to admit, I'd kinda like to be able to goof off tomorrow as the Tour de France is going to pass by on the nearby departmental road and it would be nice to go over there and encourage them. cheers, Aux

Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jul 01 - 11:56 AM Do not use an electric mower in the rain. I once gave my brother a lawn mower attachment for blowing snow. He lives in Buffalo and I thought it was appropriate. He accused me of attempted murder - he had an electric mower and the manufacturer advised against using it in snow. |
Subject: RE: Story: The Man Who Knew in Advance From: Auxiris Date: 12 Jul 01 - 04:51 PM Thanks for the warning, Sins (you must be remembering the "Dangers of Gardening" thread, eh?), but I don't think there's any danger; my mower is a gas-driven one. . . and the second part of the story is now posted! cheers, Aux
