Beaupré, in his native country, had been a hairdresser, then a soldier in Prussia, and then had come to Russia to be "outchitel," without very well knowing the meaning of this word.
Sorterrian Beaupré ile-apaintzaile izan zen, hurrena Prusian soldadu, eta gero Errusiara etorri zen pour être outchitiel, hitz horren esanahia oso ondo ulertu gabe ere.
