So much alteration in the styles of decoration has taken place in the building that it is possible to be certain of the date of only some portions of the structure. The Hotel de Ville now occupies part of the abbey buildings. At the eastern side of the town stands St Croix, a fifteenth century church with a most spacious interior.
WRITE PLAINLY. Every word of even the most trifling document should be written in such clear characters that it would be impossible to mistake it for another word, or the writer may find himself in the position of the Eastern merchant who, writing to the Indies for five thousand mangoes, received by the next vessel five hundred monkies, with a promise of more in the next cargo.
"Come along, then; I'll introduce you. This is about the right time of day for it; he'll probably be in good humor. He has dyspepsia, you know, and he's not always pleasant." It was nearly sundown; the eastern slopes were in shadow, and supper was cooking.
"Listen to reason, you insane American! You can not escape those who are closing in on you those who are filtering the forest for you who are gradually driving you out into the eastern edges of Les Errues!

But of all this, and a great deal more, Lancey had but a faint glimmering as he was led through the various corridors and rooms towards a central part of the building.
