...what he dreaded. The region greets him with a driving deluge the minute his car crosses into it, provoking an accident with Antoine Bailleul, one of the postal workers he'll be managing. It takes a disoriented Abrams awhile to realize Bailleul's Ch'ti speech isn't the result of a broken jaw - and even longer to acclimate himself to some of the area's unusual customs (such as breakfasting on toast smeared with pungent Maroilles cheese dunked into chicory-cut coffee).
