So to my father's question, "What did you do next?" Mocquet replied, "I did what I always do when I want to catch a false beast."
"What is that, Mocquet?"
"I set a trap (piège)."
Mocquet always pronounced piège pierge.
"You set a trap to catch mother Durand?"
Mocquet did not like to have his words said differently from his own pronunciation. He replied: "I set a pierge for mother Durand."
"And where did you put it? At your door?"
"At my door? Rather not! Do you think the old witch would go through my door? She would enter my bedroom in some unheard-of way."
"By the chimney, perhaps?"
