She tuned her mandolin, and, neglecting the harmonica, in a moment drew forth some chords and then sang: /* "Sur le pont d'Avignon L'on y danse, l'on y danse, Sur le pont d'Avignon L'on y danse tout en rond." */ And then, after a pause, with an elaborate curtsey to Clarissa: /* "Les beaux messieurs font comme a Et puis encore comme a." */ "The Pont d'Avignon?" he laughed with delight.

He knew well who it was, for the girl's speaking voice had thrilled him long before this. He came to the eastern margin of the grove of chestnuts and found that he was beside the open rond point, where the pool lay within its stone circumference, unclean and choked with lily-pads, and the fountain a naked lady holding aloft a shell stood above.

In 1764 the Champs Élysées ended at Chaillot, a little to the W. of the Rond Point, an old feudal property which Louis XI. gave to Philippe de Comines in 1450, and which in 1651 sheltered the unhappy widow of Charles I.

La Finale. Begin with the grand rond or great round; that is, the whole quadrille; first and second couples and sides join hands all round, advance four steps, and retreat ditto. L'Eté is now sometimes introduced, the grand rond being repeated between each division of the figure.

An interminable drive! the whole length of the Avenue de la Grande-Armee and the Avenue de Neuilly, past the Seine and the Rond Pont de Courbevoie, until at last turning to the left into the wide and villainously paved road that leads to Rueil, Bougival, and St.

It left him free to do what he wished to do make a careful reconnaissance of the whole garden enclosure but it left him empty of something he had, without conscious thought, looked forward to.

Ils avoient pour vêtement des robes dont les manches, larges de plus d'un pied et demi, dépassoient leur bras, et pour toque un chapeau rond terminé en pointe, de laine cramoisie, et velu; mais ce chapeau, au lieu d'avoir sa toile tortillée tout autour, comme l'ont les autres Maures, l'avoit pendante fort bas des deux côtés, dans toute sa largeur.
