The story behind these illustrations is that family was visiting us whilst we were on holiday in France, and decided to go picnicking on the nearest mountain top (which we weren't allowed on unless we had official permission from someone, which we semi-had??). The car tyre pops midway up, so my cousin and I abandon the adults as they fix it.
On the way up, we spot the car of the ranger and as adventurous children, we see this situation as a threat (will they suspect us, foreign little kids on an isolated mountain track? Will they arrest us??) so we duck down beside the path and wait for the ranger pass. After they are gone, the adeline rush remains and we feel excited as we think we've just avoided some police officer for literally no crime.
(Later I found out that the adults were in fact scolded, so lucky us!)
