They are generally narrow, badly paved, with grass growing in the very quiet ones. There are many large hotels standing well back, entre cour et jardin, the big doors and gate-ways generally heavy and much ornamented a great deal of carving on the façades and cornices, queer heads and beasts. Valognes has not always been the quiet, dull, little provincial town it is to-day.
Or we were promenading The Enormous Room after supper the evening promenade in the cour having been officially eliminated owing to the darkness and the cold of the autumn twilight and through the windows the dull bloating colours of sunset pouring faintly; and the Count stops dead in his tracks and regards the sunset without speaking for a number of seconds.

Brienne, indignant at this perverseness, for hitherto they had claimed the sole right of registering taxes, forced them to register the stamp-tax and the land-tax, and exiled them to Troyes.
