  • Pendant le temps des foins Maria et sa mère n'eurent donc à faire que leur ouvrage habituel: la tenue de la maison, la confection des repas, la lessive et le raccommodage du linge, la traite des trois vaches et le soin des volailles, et une fois par semaine la cuisson du pain qui se prolongeait souvent tard dans la nuit.During the time of the haymen Maria and her mother therefore had to do only their usual work: the keeping of the house, the making of meals, laundry and the repairing of the linen, the milking of the three cows and the care of the poultry, and once a week the cooking of the bread, which often extended late into the night.B1Maria Chapdelaine
