Crack, crack, crack, crack. Crack-crack- crack. Crick-crack. Crick-crack. Helo! Hola! Vite! Voleur! Brigand! Hi hi hi! En r-r-r-r-r-route!

"Allez!" my policeman cried to the French-Canadian driver, seating himself by my side. "A la gare du chemin de fer Pacific! Aussi vite que possible!" I understood every word. This was wonderful.
