"Voila, madame, where the City of Ys stood long before the Bretons came. It was a foolish ride." "I do not know the story. Tell me." "There are two or three, but mine is the oldest. A flood came sent by the gods, for the woman was impious. The king must ride with her into the sea and leave her there, himself to come back, and so save the city."

I will dismiss the decorations and the preludes except to say that they were Parisian. After a while in full regalia The Major appeared, a train of servants following with a silver tureen. The lid was lifted. "Voila!" says he. The vision disclosed to our startled eyes was an ocean that looked like bean soup flecked by a few strands of black crape!
His face was pale and distraught, his locks were disheveled. "Voila!" he said. "Mon Dieu! It is my third attempt. Always the same hideous, monstrous, unearthly! It is she, and yet it is not she!" The doctor, professional man as he was and inured to such spectacles, was startled!
Mandeville indiscriminately distributed itself on piers, large and small, bath-house tops, trees, and craft of all kinds, from pirogue, dory, and pine-raft to pretentious cat-boat and shell-schooner.
