Presently, however, he heard a low whistle, coming, apparently, from a thicket just ahead.
The cafés on the square, where stands the Belfry of Longfellow's poem, are overflowing with people at table. It is Friday, and to-morrow will be market day; with perhaps a fair or a procession thrown in. You reach the Cathedral of St. The narrow lane-like street winds around the rear of the church.
