' It was a quiet lunch.
Not much conversation.
There were slices of state-coloured bread, wedges of cold unidentifiable meat and a vegetable-like turnip. For dessert, wrinkled Wind-fallen apples. Wine from unlabelled bottles was poured into small thick tumblers. The language barrier seemed impenetrable. Every now and again I saw the Capitaine give a cool appraising glance in our direction.'
