But we have things in the north you have not. We have tens of thousands of good horses not such ponies as you breed here. At the horse fair at Fecamp my sorrel would be lost in the crowd.

The walk to Fécamp would be purely delightful if it were not for the fonds.
The suburbs of Paris are no longer the same; the physiognomy of what may be called circumparisian life has changed completely in the last half-century; where there was the cuckoo, there is the railway car; where there was a tender-boat, there is now the steamboat; people speak of Fecamp nowadays as they spoke of Saint-Cloud in those days.

To be exposed to the perils of the sea was no part of the intention of the founders of Fécamp, either of abbey, town or palace. They chose them a site which gave them the practical advantages of the sea without the dangers of its immediate neighbourhood. Fécamp then lies a little way inland.
The woman hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Yes, I think I have. I suppose you want young ones?" "Yes, of course." "'What do you pay for them in the market?" D'Apreval, who had not the least idea, turned to his companion: "What are you paying for poultry in Fecamp, my dear lady?"
