No fancy mules nor reindeer in their stables.
I just came across this footnote (fn #5 on p 39,
to be precise) in a book I was perusing
...
"So strict were the monks that they
didn't even indulge themselves in their arduous travels. No fancy mules nor
reindeer in
their
stables. They just rode around on their plain French asses."
