Summary
Pendant le bombardement, avec le bon Waltner, nous nous promenions bravement sur le Pont des Arts, au clair de lune, admirable, à minuit. Le sifflement d’une bombe frôle nos oreilles et je dis à Waltner, “Eh, mais, c’est pour nous!”
During the bombing, the good Waltner and I were walking bravely on the Pont des Arts, in the wonderful moonlight at midnight. The whistle of a bomb grazed our ears and I said to Waltner, “Hey, that was meant for us!”
