"Then you are all determined to sign the capitulation after I have done so?" asked General Bisson, still hesitating. "We are," cried the officers. "We are ready to do so," said Major Armance, "and in proof hereof I affix my name to the capitulation before you have signed it, general." He subscribed the paper with a quick but steady hand.
But suddenly two names caught my eye, Orelay and Verlancourt, and we agreed that we preferred either of these names to Armance. "Which name shall give shelter to two unfortunate lovers flying in search of solitude?" "Orelay is a beautiful name." "Orelay it shall be," I said. "We shall be able to get there from Marseilles in a few hours."
"Armance," I said, interrupting Doris, who was telling me that we should lose our tickets by the Cote d'Azur. For in Doris's opinion it was necessary that we should leave Plessy by the Cote d'Azur. Her friends would certainly come to the station to see her off. "That is a matter of no moment," I said. "At Marseilles we can catch an express train, which will be nearly as good.
There are two excellent trains; either will do, if you have decided to spend three days at Armance." She asked me if Armance were a village or a town, and I answered, "What matter?" for everywhere in France there are good beds and good food and good wine ay, and omelettes. We should do very well in any village in the south of France for three days.
Cahor tempted us, but it was too stern a name; its Italian name, Devona, appealed to us; but, after all, we could not think of Cahor as Devona. And for many reasons were rejected Armance, Vezelay, Oloron, Correz, Valat, and Gedre. Among these, only Armance gave us any serious pause. Armance! That evening and the next we studied L'Indicateur des Chemins de fer.
