athletes training  in the discus throw

same clearing  clumsily send  their projectile

            in  group leadership. The disc falls and

            speeding towards the  picnic.  

            Monet, to protect his friends - or save  

            its composition  - intervenes  and  scoop of a  

            deep calf injury.  Bazille reacts

            as an apprentice doctor: he makes a tourniquet,

            companion sound  friend at his neighboring inn,

            install it on the bed by raising the leg

            wounded with blankets, and makes

            even a makeshift drip in

            hanging an earthen pot over the wound  filled with permanganate and pierced with a hole. Then, to keep his comrade company, he takes the latter's equipment  and paints it,  sick and bedridden. Monet's misfortune proved to Bazille an excellent - albeit impromptu - source of inspiration.
