jadis traversé la France, traînant leurs chariots et leurs chaudrons, et
le bohémien ajouta d’un air convaincu :

comme les accidents de la route, devant nous. Ici un arbre, là une
maison, plus loin un rocher, à côté un coche, puis un passant
chevauchant sur sa mule. Ce n’est pas ma faute si à cet arbre n’est
pas accroché un pendu, si la maison n’est pas hantée, si le passant
n’est pas un voleur de grand chemin et si le rocher ne s’écroule pas
sur la diligence. Mais alors pourquoi raconter ? Mon Dieu ! pour rien,
pour le seul plaisir de dire comme le pigeon de la fable :
