Docs., IX. 422. It will serve as an example of the Iroquois method of conducting political business, the habitual regularity and decorum of which has drawn from several contemporary French writers the remark that in such matters the five tribes were savages only in name. Compare Le Clercq, Etablissement de la Foy, II. 403. Ourehaoue is the Tawerahet of Colden.
Curiously enough women are more prone to gamble than men, and the Administration of the Etablissement will tell you that when a woman of any nationality starts to gamble she will become reckless until her last throw with the devil.
Your step-mother likes it, and the boy likes it wonderful healthy air, don't you know no smoke no fogs only three miles from the sea, as the crow flies. It suits them, and it's cheap a paramount consideration with a poor devil on half-pay; and in the season there are some of the best people in Europe to be seen at the etablissement.
They all bathe, and a curious fashion at Villers is that you put on your bathing dress in your own house over that a peignoir, generally of red and white striped cotton, and walk quite calmly through the streets to the établissement. Some of the ladies and gentlemen of mature years are not to their advantage.
Its existence is emblazoned across the blue skies by an electric sign reading "Etablissement Parisien." It is in the Schellinggasse and justifies itself by the possession of a very fine orchestra whose militär-kapellmeister knows naught but inebriate tanzmusik. Again in the open air, headed for the Kaisergarten, we reflect on our evening's search for nachtvergnügungen.
His history of having reached the Gulf of Mexico is as visionary as the traveller's tales of Norumbega. Indeed, he could not even claim a gift of fertile invention in this case, as the very account of his alleged discovery was obviously plagiarised from Father Membré's narrative of La Salle's voyage of 1682, which appears in Le Clercq's Premier Établissement de la Foy.
He estimates the number of fires at five or six hundred. Membre, who was here in 1680, says that it then contained seven or eight thousand souls. Membre, in Le Clercq, Premier Etablissement de la Foy, ii. 173. On the remarkable manuscript map of Franquelin, 1684, it is set down at twelve hundred warriors, or about six thousand souls. This was after the destructive inroad of the Iroquois.
What luck! There is not a moment to lose. Come along. I've a fiacre at the door below." He gave the établissement as the address, and we were soon tearing down the hill. As we drove along l'Echelle told me the news. "It's come, that satanic telegram, and just what he wanted, I'm prepared to swear. He simply jumped for joy when he read it." "But what was the message? Go on, go on, out with it!"
A little more than a year after this, and the yellow corn was waving on the fertile plains of Normandy, fruit ripening in orchards on hillside and in valley; merry holiday folks splashing and dabbling in the waves that wash the yellow sands of Dieppe; horses coming to grief in Norman steeplechases; desperate gamesters losing their francs and half-francs in all kinds of frivolous games in the Dieppe etablissement; and yonder, in the heart of Normandy, beyond the tall steeples of Rouen, a happy family assembled at the Chateau Cotenoir.
Out of the goodly pile I selected some half-dozen that bore my name; but I was greatly surprised to come across one that had made a very bad shot for its destination. It bore the simple name of some poor Jacktar, with the address "H.M.S. Hercules." The Romans had their établissement here. The present name comes from the "Thermæ Herculis" of classic times.
