![Précaution indispensable que prennent les Parisiens lorsqu’ils sortent de chez eux, même en plein midi depuis qu’ils on appris par Mr. Babinet que le soleil pouvait s’éteindre d’un moment a l’autre. [Ever since Mr. Babinet had announced that the sun might disappear from one moment to the next, the Parisians have all been taking all the necessary precautions, even at mid-day.]
