Great sums of money had been expended upon the harbour and basin of Cherbourg, which at one time was considered by the French court as an object of great importance, from its situation respecting the river Seine, as well as the opposite coast of England; but as the works were left unfinished, in all appearance the plan had grown into disreputation.
Three days before they sail we'll go down to Naples and hear the last word, and whatever it is we'll see them off on the 'Princess Irene.

"Where are you going, and what ship do you belong to?" he asked pompously. "We are sailors on our way from Saint Malo to Cherbourg," Terence replied. "You have papers, of course?" "Of course, Monsieur le Maire." "I must see them," the Maire said. "Come with me to my house, close by." There were several persons near, and a man in civil uniform was with the Maire.
Charles set himself to reduce Brittany with considerable success; a diversion from Calais caused plentiful misery in the open country; but, as the French again refused to fight, it did nothing to restore the English cause. By 1375 England held nothing in France except Calais, Cherbourg, Bayonne, and Bordeaux.
