Old Grandma Gruchy, too, who had outlived all her men folks and at ninety-three was still tough and hearty, had need of things. Between filling the wood-box and looking after the weather and keeping a casual eye on the widows and the fatherless, Uncle William had a full winter.
June 18th was at intervals a sunshiny day a four-inch glass mirror would have put Napoleon in communication with Gruchy, and the whole history of Europe might have been altered. Wellington himself suffered dreadfully from defective information which might have been easily supplied. The unexpected presence of the French army was first discovered at four in the morning of June 15.
My objective point in France was the study of Millet and his work. I wanted to interpret him to working people in New Haven. So to Greville on La Hague I went with a camera. Greville consists of a church and a dozen houses. Gruchy is half a mile beyond, on the edge of the sea.
Lecour took the paper with a heart-throb and read "The Marquis de Gruchy, the Count de Longueville, the Chevaliers des Trois-Maisons and de Réfsentigny, who had previously the honour of being presented to the King, had, on the 8th instant, that of entering the carriages of of his Majesty and following him to the chase." His face crimsoned. He looked at the Chevalier.
He went back home once more, and gave up his longings for art in order to till the ground for his fatherless sisters. Luckily, however, his friends at Gruchy succeeded after awhile in sending him back again to Cherbourg, where he began to study under another master, Langlois, and to have hopes once more for his artistic future, now that he was free at last to pursue it in his own way.
Millet lived in the department of Manche, in the village of Gruchy, near Cherbourg. Manche juts into the sea, at the English Channel, and whichever way Millet looked he must have seen the sea.
"Where do you wish to go?" asked a gendarme, not unkindly. "Back to Gruchy," came the answer. And the young man went into the diligence office and asked when the next stage started. It did not go until the following morning. He would have to stay somewhere all night. The policeman outside the door directed him to a modest tavern. Next morning things looked a little better.
