Bon Voyage Page #2

---

Off you go, boys.

And, bon voyage.

You said, it's in the small parcel?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Come on, Sandy, let's go.

It's still quite a way.

- How far?

- 35 km.

- Oh, I see.

- And we must get there before daybreak.

What's over there? More cows?

- No. The Htel de la Poste.

- An hotel, really? Let me see.

An hotel! Stphane,

an hotel with a bed

and perhaps

something more to eat.

Sorry to disturb you.

Do you have your papers?

- You arrived here last night?

- Yes.

- What is it you want?

- Your papers. We're the police.

I'm going to Reims,

I'm a mechanic.

- I come from Ireland.

- Ah, you're Irish.

- A mechanic?

- Yes, my factory was bombed.

Yes, yes. That's fine.

Thank you.

- How did you get away with it?

- With the gendarmes?

- They just asked me a few questions.

- What did you say?

- I said just what you told me to say.

- And it worked?

You know, I'd practised the phrases

a lot with you.

I'm very happy we did that,

because of my Scottish accent.

But these gendarmes here,

they must think that Ireland and Scotland

are the same thing. And you?

It worked perfectly too. Get up now,

old boy, we have to get out of here.

- Yes, yes, before breakfast!

- I've not said a word.

- Are we still going by bicycle?

- No, this time we're taking the train.

The hotel owner has given me

lots of information, he's a good man too.

We'll have to wear these clothes.

We're taking the train at 9:42am.

The second carriage after the engine.

You'll read this paper

in the compartment.

At one point, I'll ask you

if you can lend it to me.

Then, you'll say the password:

"It's Monday's".

Right. The Resistance member

who is supposed to contact us,

will give me their paper, saying,

"Take this one, it's yesterday's".

I see. And they'll tell us

what to do next?

Let's hope so.

Must we really wear

these clothes?

They're filthy.

Excuse me, could you lend me

your newspaper?

It's Monday's.

Take this one, it's yesterday's.

The train driver was also

in the Resistance, probably.

Everything was well organised.

It was exactly

like a combined operation.

And this young woman, tell me,

she took you to a farm.

Yes, sir. Her father's farm.

And so she told us that

that very evening there was

a plane heading for England,

but that there was only one place

for one of the two of us.

So, you drew straws.

That's right, sir.

But how did you know that?

Because I am very intelligent.

Yes... So, what was I saying?

And so I won, and then Jeanne

gave us some clothes.

And then we ate.

- When does he leave?

- You can never know for sure.

In any case, no later than 3 o'clock

in the morning,

my father will come

to collect him.
