Cockton recognized Miss Power, and appearing much surprised, rose from his seat with a bow, and said hastily, 'Mr. Somerset left to-day. 'I did not ask for him, said Paula. 'No, Miss Power: but I thought 'Yes, yes you know, of course, that he has been my architect. Well, it happens that I should like to see him, if he can call on me. Which way did he go? 'He's gone to Etretat. 'What for?
Just as he was leaving she asked: "Would you mind giving me your address? If he should grow worse, I could go and get you." This is the season for penguins. From April to the end of May, before the Parisian visitors arrive, one sees, all at once, on the little beach at Etretat several old gentlemen, booted and belted in shooting costume.
"Why don't you come to Etretat? It is charming there. We don't do anything but eat and drink and talk scandal Oh, yes! Yamada sometimes gives us some music. Come here, Yamada!" The Japanese approached, in obedience to her call, with his eternal grin upon his queer little face. "My dear Prince," rattled on the Baroness, "you don't know, perhaps, that Yamada is the most Parisian of Parisians?
Where do you think I have come from? From Normandy. A charming opportunity took me there six days ago. I had been enchanted with Jumieges. This time I saw Etretat, Yport, the prettiest of all the villages, Fecamp, Saint-Valery, which I knew, and Dieppe, which dazzled me; the environs, the chateau d'Arques, Limes, what a country!
The Etretat Needle was hollow! Was it a natural phenomenon, an excavation produced by internal cataclysms or by the imperceptible action of the rushing sea and the soaking rain? Or was it a superhuman work executed by human beings, Gauls, Celts, prehistoric men? These, no doubt, were insoluble questions; and what did it matter?
These were the four great formulas, the essential and general formulas which you had to know. By means of them, you turned en aval, that is to say, below or west of Etretat, entered the Chambre des Demoiselles, in all probability passed under Fort Frefosse and thus arrived at the Needle. How?
Petites Dalles was not fashionable yet, though it aspired to be; but it could boast of a deputy, and a senator, and a professor of the Collège de France, as good as any at Étretat, a tired journalist or two, and a sprinkling of Rouen men of business.
On getting back to the hotel she told her aunt, who had just been having a nap, that next day they would go to Etretat for a change. 'Why? There are no old churches at Etretat. 'No. But I am sick and tired of holy places, and want to go to some wicked spot or other to find that consolation which holiness cannot give. 'For shame, Paula! Now I know what it is; you have heard that he's gone there!

"Arrêtez! 'Arrêtez!" roared Jaffery all of a sudden. We had just passed the Havre Casino on our way back from Etretat. The chauffeur pulled up. Jaffery flung open the door, leaped out and disappeared. In a few seconds we heard his voice reverberating from side to side of the Boulevard Maritime. "Hullo! hullo! hullo!"
