After the First World War, a small group of veterans returned to their village. Most of them managed to get along, but Lebeau was unable to work regularly. In time he became poverty-stricken.
Once every year the veterans held a reunion dinner. On one of these occasions they met in the home of Grandin, who had made a good deal of money and grown pompous. Grandin showed them a large gold coin. Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the table. All, however, had drunk wine freely and the room was resounded with noisy talk, so that the gold piece was soon forgotten. Later, when Grandin remembered it and asked for it, the coin was missing.
Instantly there arose a hubbub of questions and denials. Finally the village attorney suggested everyone be searched, to which all agreed except Lebeau.
