The baker sat down on a stool he had brought, and began to tune his fiddle. From inside came the voice of the Notary. "Play 'The Woods are Green' first," he said. "Then the other."
Though I am only a woman I have an idea of my own rights, and will defend them as far as they go. If you say I ought not to sell them, Frank, I'll keep them; but I'll wear them as commonly as you do that gage d'amour which you carry on your finger. Nobody shall ever see me without them. I won't go to any old dowager's tea-party without them. Mr.
A bridge over the water which runs from the Lac d'Amour leads through a gateway into the Béguinage, where a circle of small houses whitewashed, with stepped gables, and green woodwork on the windows surrounds a lawn planted with tall trees.

Romance to him means only an elaborate and circumspect winking at some perfectly obvious and duly checked little baggage; it means to him only a scarlet-cushioned seat along the mirrored wall of the Café Américain, a thousand incandescents, a string quartette sighing through "Un Peu d'Amour," a quart of "wine."

Still more evident was this, when from the humorous piece with which the sisters led off a dance of clowns, but clowns of Arcady they slid into a delicate rippling chant d'amour, the long drawn notes of the violin rising and falling on the piano accompaniment with an exquisite plaintiveness.

"I only remember you presenting me with that hideous thing hanging in my passage, which you called a dulcimer." "Gage d'amour?" smiled Judith. Pasquale laughed and twirled his swaggering moustache.
There is a Val d'Amour near Arbois, but the more beautiful valley of that name lies between Dôle and Besançon, and, as we passed its neighbourhood, my friend with the Macintosh informed me that as it was clear from my questions that I was drawing up a history of the Franche Comté, he must beg me to insert a legend respecting the origin of this name, Val d'Amour, which, he believed, had never appeared in print.
