Gascony was pronounced sequestrated and Charles of Valois, the veteran uncle of the king, was ordered to enforce the sentence at the head of an imposing army. See for this affair Bréquigny, Mémoire sur les différends entre la France et l'Angleterre sous Charles le Bel, in Mém. de l'Acad. des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, xli. , pp. 641-92.
See for this Jourdain, Mémoire sur les Commencements de la Marine française sous Philippe le Bel , and C. de la Roncière, Le Blocus continental de l'Angleterre sous Philippe le Bel in Revue des Questions historiques, lx. , 401-41. More effective than Philip's efforts to combine the Continent against the English were his endeavours to stir up opposition to Edward in Britain.
U and I walked to the village of Villeneuve, a mile from the hotel, and found a very commonplace little old town of one or two streets, standing on a level, and as uninteresting as if there were not a hill within a hundred miles. It is strange what prosaic lines men thrust in amid the poetry of nature. . . . . Hotel de l'Angleterre, Geneva, June 14th.
Il faudra peut-etre un siecle a l'Angleterre pour qu'elle connaise la valeur de son heros. Dans un siecle, l'Europe entiere saura combien Wellington a des droits a sa reconnaissance." How often in writing this paper "in a strange land," must Miss Bronte have thought of the old childish disputes in the kitchen of Haworth parsonage, touching the respective merits of Wellington and Buonaparte!
Limp with laughter, we watched them pass from sight amidst a chorus of "Ong, ong," followed by flights of oratory in the English tongue which do not bear repeating, but which were received by the peasant as expressions of deep esteem and to which he replied by endeavouring to kiss the Tommies and shouting, "Vive l'Angleterre! Allright! Hoorah!"
She lifted a glass of amer picon for the privilege of hearing the truth she could tell me I was pleased to pay for it and said in a kind of whisper, "Vive la France!" and then, touching her glass with her lips: "Vive l'Angleterre!" The other girl leaned forward and spoke with polite and earnest inquiry. "Monsieur would like a little love?" I shook my head. "Ca ne marche pas.
"Vive l'Angleterre, l'Histoire et les Heros! A bas la France, la Fiction et les Faquins!" The class was struck of a heap. I suppose they thought me mad. The Professor put up his handkerchief, and fiendishly smiled into its folds. Little monster of malice! He now thought he had got the victory, since he had made me angry. In a second he became good- humoured.
They lodged at the Hôtel de l'Angleterre, that hostelry in the street that leads up and out of the town towards Saint Riquier, which you enter from a courtyard that opens on the road and has rooms that you reach by means of narrow, rickety flights of stairs and balconies overhanging the court. The big dining-room wore an air of gloomy festivity.
"You will let me return in a moment to escort you to the camp." "Thank you." "Will you permit me my name is De Trevignac." "And mine is Madame Androvsky." "Russian!" the officer said. "The alliance in the desert! Vive la Russie!" She laughed. "That is for my husband, for I am English." "Vive l'Angleterre!" he said.
I hope that we shall first have a little success, and then go with our proposals to Versailles. Monsieur de Vergennes says, that si l'Angleterre veut avoir la Paix, il faut frapper a ma porte, and the sooner we are in his cabinet for that purpose the better.
