It is but a short distance from St. Malo to St. Servan, but what a difference! It is called by the French themselves the daughter of St. Malo, the "faubourg grown into a city."
They tried Dinard for the remainder of the summer; but finding it unsuitable, proceeded by St.-Malo to Le Croisic, the little sea-side town of south-eastern Brittany which two of Mr. Browning's poems have since rendered famous. The following extract has no date. Le Croisic, Loire Inferieure. . . . We all found Dinard unsuitable, and after staying a few days at St.
