Note: Translated by Marie-Thérèse Noiset. New complete translation restoring the anti-US and anti-British passages that were omitted in Gordon's 1896 translation. This translation begins:
"When a trip begins badly, it rarely ends well. At least this is an opinion that the four musicians, whose instruments were lying on the ground, would surely have a right to maintain. Indeed, the carriage they had taken at the final station of the railroad had just tipped over onto the shoulder of the road."
