Prettiness is a very expensive item in such a case; and as these three were all combined to a somewhat remarkable degree at the Hôtel d'Angleterre, the eventual bill made me angry, and I should certainly try the Hôtel de Genève on any future visit to Annecy. The first thing to be done was to determine the position of the Mont Parmelan.
The ugly husband of the lovely lady with the roses now addressed himself to me. "We are much disappointed," he said, "in finding that monsieur is not accompanied by his countryman le grand Jean d'Angleterre; I cannot pronounce his name rightly" and he looked at me to help him out. "Le grand Jean d'Angleterre!" now who was le grand Jean d'Angleterre? John Bull? John Russell? John Bright?
I reached Anvers in two days, and finding a yacht ready to start I got on board and arrived at Rotterdam the next day. I got to the Hague on the day following, and after depositing my effects at the "Hotel d'Angleterre" I proceeded to M. d'Afri's, and found him reading M. de Choiseul's letter, which informed him of my business.
I know of no article here so much augmented in price, within the last ten years, as the apartments in all the hotels. After looking at several of them in the Rue de la Loi, accompanied by a French friend, who was so obliging as to take on himself all the trouble of inquiry, while I remained a silent bystander, I had the curiosity to go to the Hotel d'Angleterre, in the Rue des Filles St.
For those who have to jog along by third class, stopping at all the little country stations, it is a long and tedious journey indeed. The longest journey ends at last. The train rolled slowly into the station of Berne, and Fanny descended with her box. Her wanderings were over for the present. She would find her mistress and be at rest. She asked to be directed to the Hotel d'Angleterre.
Finally we parted, not exactly in anger, but certainly with a shadow between us. He thought me shallow, I thought him foolish. When I called on him again his servant told me that he had gone to Germany. Two years afterwards, as I was going into my club, the hall-porter handed me a letter with a foreign postmark. It was from Erskine, and written at the Hotel d'Angleterre, Cannes.
It was, in every thing, a perfect contrast to the rich plains of Artois unfertile, neglected vallies and hills, miserable farms, still more miserable cottages, and scarcely any appearance of population. The only place where we could refresh the horses was a small house, over the door of which was the pompous designation of Hotel d'Angleterre.

"There was a small, open space before it," said Rollo, "and a fountain under a tree by the side of it." "It must have been the Hotel d'Angleterre," said the commissioner. "In going in at the front door, we went down one or two steps, instead of up," said Rollo. "Yes," said the commissioner, "it was the Hotel d'Angleterre."
James's Street, was a member of the Travellers Club, and played the violin for an amateur rather well. His brother, Mortimer Maistre, was in diplomacy at Rio Janeiro or somewhere. His sister had married an Australian, and lived in Melbourne. At the Hôtel d'Angleterre I found his shyness was mistaken for indifference. He was civil to everybody, but intimate with none.
