And my business at Carcasonne House is the same as yours." She was silent for a moment. And then: "Well," she said, "here we are. And that's lucky in a way. We both seem to want the same thing that is, to keep our children from marrying each other. We can talk the matter over and decide how to do it." "We can talk it over anyway, as you say," said Saterlee.
And I believe for the world, as you will find, is full not only of just but of generous souls that if the water-supply were set really right, there would be found, in many a city, many a generous man who, over and above his compulsory water-rate, would give his poor fellow-townsmen such a real fountain as those which ennoble the great square at Carcasonne and the great square at Nismes; to be 'a thing of beauty and a joy for ever."
"I'm glad to hear you say that, Ma'am," said Saterlee. "When you said you were bound for Carcasonne House, I thought to myself, 'Mebbe she's got it, and I felt mighty sorry." "Do I look like a consumptive?" she asked. "Bless me no," said he. "But you're not stout, and, considering where you said you was going, you mustn't blame me for putting two and two together and getting the wrong answer."
"Grub City hire buggy drive Carcasonne," he muttered, and without a glance at the train which had betrayed him, or at the lady who had fallen upon him, so to speak, out of the skies, he moved forward with great strides, leaped a puddle, regained the embankment, and hastened along the ties, skipping every other one.

"You'd ought to make Carcasonne House by midnight," said the proprietor. "Put your feet up on that there stove." "Heavens!" exclaimed the lady. "And if we don't make it by midnight?" "We will by one or two o'clock."
And, in particular, that contemplated and threatened by his son and heir was moving him across three hundred miles of inundated country as fast as a train could carry him. His son had written: "DEAREST DAD I've found Dorothy again. She's at Carcasonne. They thought her lungs were bad, but they aren't.
"I don't blame you at all," she said, but a little stiffly. "It was perfectly natural. No," she said, "my daughter is at Carcasonne House. She had a very heavy cold and other troubles and two doctors agreed that her lungs were threatened. Well, perhaps they were. I sent her to Carcasonne House on the doctors' recommendation. And it seems that she's just as sound as I am."
Know then that for every parchment in England there are twenty in France. For every statue, cut gem, shrine, carven screen, or what else might please the eye of a learned clerk, there are a good hundred to our one. At the spoiling of Carcasonne I have seen chambers stored with writing, though not one man in our Company could read them.
She slid her future wedding finery into a large paper bag, and entered the saloon by the "Family Entrance," ardently followed by her future husband. The proprietor, Saterlee, and the showy lady followed more slowly, discussing roads. "Now," said Saterlee, "if you're going further than Carcasonne Junction, I'll get off there. And either I'll walk to the hotel or hire another trap."
