Présentation de l'éditeur
Afternoon drowsiness, early spring warmth, covered the old stone ramparts of A igues-M ortes. Through heavy embrasures from which long-forgotten sentinels had watched Saint Louis and his Crusaders marching to their fleet, the sunshine now cast broad stripes and wedges of light over a deserted platform. In one of the brightest of these, under a turret, Jackdabos sat cross-legged, refitting a block of stone into the floor. A big brindle cur, his friend Puig sdog, lay snoring beside him. The young mans trowel made the only other sound, as it clinked on the aged stone, or scraped fresh mortar neatly into the surrounding crack. There! sighed Jackdabos, when he had made all smooth round the block.
