My opportunity of becoming acquainted with that singular district called Le Bocage, will be best understood by very briefly sketching my route through it.

At one end is the old castle, with its towers rising above the square battlemented mass of the main fortress; and if we had not seen the dirt and squalor that dwells within this venerable outside, we should have carried away a picture of gray, grim dignity, presented by a long past age to the present one, to put its mean ways and modes to shame. sat diligently sketching, and children came about her, exceedingly unfragrant, but very courteous and gentle, looking over her shoulders, and expressing delight as they saw each familiar edifice take its place in the sketch.
He said possibly he might come round my way. He said Ogden would be interested in my sketch. He seemed to think a lot of Ogden's fondness for art. 'Mr Broster is not a proper tutor for my boy. 'Well, he isn't your boy's tutor now, is he, dear? 'What happened then? 'I strolled off with my sketching things. After a while Reggie and Ogden came up.
