During a whole week this northern strath has been as sunny as the Riviera is expected to be. The streams can be crossed dry-shod, kelts are plunging in the pools, but even kelts will not look at a fly. The Field announces that a duke, who rents three rods on a neighbouring river, has not yet caught one salmon.
To invalids requiring an equable temperature, it would have been a far more ideal winter resort than any corner of the much-vaunted Riviera, except indeed for the fact that feeding and gambling dens were not among its attractions.
The winter had not come on well, but in fits and starts, with trying winds and much rain. She said these things while she cut into her roll of red flannel the scissors seemed to give her courage. The Rector of Stagholme had awful visions of a furnished house at Brighton or a crammed hotel on the Riviera.
In the display of this, in its many self-revelations, in concentration of purpose, untiring energy, fearlessness of responsibility, judgment sound and instant, boundless audacity, promptness, intrepidity, and endurance beyond all proof, the restricted field of Corsica and the Riviera, the subordinate position at Cape St.

"You are a great violinist, but you won't realize it. Look here, Adolph, chuck your job, and go on a walking tour with me. Let's travel through France and along the Riviera to Italy. I'm sick of cities. There's lots of money for us both, and if we run short, why, bring your fiddle along and play it why not?" At their door the concierge handed Adolph some letters.
