Without noise, with the lights off, the cars kept on arriving ones behind the other ones, brimful, carrying away suitcases and furniture, cars of baby and cages of bird, boxes and baskets of cloth, each with a mattress firmly tied to the ceiling; they formed fragile mountains and it seemed that they advanced without the help of the engine, pushed by its own weight along the streets in slope until the square.
