My elder being boys, it is quite naturally that they followed the way of the father. They engaged in their turn in the Royal one.

It contained fabulous treasures come from remote countries: headstocks with the dye chechmate and the coloured dresses, collars, shells, shawls Indians… I left then in my turn to the other end the world, towards all these mysterious regions.

I closed again the large green trunk slowly and gave up it with the attic family. It is only well later that I reopened it. A brush had slipped between my fingers. Such my father, such my brothers, I taken again my bundle and embarked on the first come fabric. The fever of the voyages had just grabbed me again. Since each table is a new port, a new stopover…
