I think they mean like the trumpeting of the elephant. It does say 'song', though. smiley - laugh

also, 'une véritable barbe' is literally 'a real beard', so it's a pune, as Terry Pratchett says.

Maybe add a footnote to the end of the sentence and say, 'Literally, a real beard.' Let the reader figure the rest out, or shrug and say, 'French.' smiley - laugh

I added that, and also added an accent on 'cafe' just to create some French ambience. Would you like to have a thorough read-through and let me know your thoughts?
