Sabal major, Unger sp. Vevay. Nearly all the plants at Monod are contained in three layers of marl separated by two of soft sandstone.
I think it must be the drainage. If we keep on, I suppose we shall all have diphtheria. Don't you, Imogene?" "Yes," asserted the girl distractedly. "The girls had it at Vevay frightfully. And none of them were as strong afterward. Some of the parents came and took them away; but Madame Schebres never let mamma know. Do you think that was right?" "No; it was very wrong." "I suppose Mr.
You can escape from Vevay with the aid of my valet, when I have left there; you can join your lover, be wedded to him, and spend the rest of your days happily in the place of refuge I have designed for you. Reflect upon this, I beseech you. I should add that I have said nothing of this project to your lover. The decision rests with you and you alone.
In 1790, a Swiss colony was founded, and a fund of ten thousand dollars raised in Jessamine county, Kentucky, for the purpose of establishing a vineyard, but failed, as they attempted to plant the foreign vine.

The whole house laughed outright, and they never ceased laughing at that preacher till he left the circuit. These meetings were all successful in the way of additions, except that at Vevay. But I have never kept an account of my additions, and remember the number at only a few meetings.
In England he had been only an acquaintance at Vevay he became his most intimate friend. The delight of having a man to speak to, and a man who knew others of his friends, was almost intoxicating.
"Yes, my dear, yes," said the old gentleman, pushing back his chair; for the cup of coffee was the last part of his breakfast; "it would be well done, and I should be glad of it. Ask 'em all." "You are in for it now, Vevay," said Gertrude, when the ladies were left. "How will you manage?" "O, I'll give them a grand entertainment and send them away delighted," said Mrs. Reverdy.
