Once thus Chrysler met Libergent driving Grandmoulin in a "buck-board," while another person sat in the back seat. "Chrysler! Chrysler! Listen!" exclaimed the person in the back seat. Chrysler recognized an Ottawa acquaintance. "De Bleury! how do you do!" De Bleury put his hand on the reins to stop the vehicle: "Come up here, Chrysler, we go past the Manoir." "Thank you, I enjoy walking."
The dews had freshened the pines of Dormilliere, and the old Church stood majestically forward among them, throwing back its head and keeping sleepless watch towards the opposite side. Gradually receding, too, the Manoir showed less and less gable among its mass of foliage. If the Church is one great institution of that country, the St.
This was one of Madame's domains, where she walked, weeded and superintended every morning in broad straw hat and apron; and it was to Chrysler one of the attractions of the Manoir. "Que Demosthènes, En haranguant, Entraine Athènes, Come un torrent!" The events to which all others were leading now began to happen. The great nomination day, Sunday is here.
Your favourite schoolfellow, Louis Manoir, has suffered several misfortunes since the departure of Clerval from Geneva. But he has already recovered his spirits, and is reported to be on the point of marrying a lively pretty Frenchwoman, Madame Tavernier.

You remember well, after that expedition to Courland, he stayed some time at the Manoir Cheverny and went to the château of Capello whenever he liked.
In their way, no better models can be found than the two manoirs from Normandy which we illustrate in this number. They have both suffered from the ravages of time and hard usage, and both are at present, and for a long time have been, used as farmhouses. The Manoir d'Ango is the finer and more important of the two, and is better preserved in some of its more interesting features.
I do not say that the chateau does not want some repairs, but they would not be costly; the outer walls are strong enough to defy time for centuries to come, and a few internal decorations and some modern additions of furniture would make the old manoir a home fit for a prince. I have been over the whole estate, too, with the worthy M. Hebert, a superb property."
With a suddenness that almost discomfited her he announced that such a man had been seen, sketching a house just below the 'Vieux Manoir de Francois premier. Just turning to see that her aunt was following in the fly, Paula advanced to the house.
One afternoon, during our stay at the Manoir Cheverny, Gaston Cheverny entertained the ladies in very good style at an outdoor fête. Regnard Cheverny, of course, was present, and also the handsome, foolish Count Bellegarde, whom Francezka treated with airy indifference.
Ango was strictly a manoir in the French sense, that is, a residence of the second class not a château, such as Chambord or Blois. The principal part of the building consists of but one story with an open gallery beneath, supported by an arcade with columns bearing finely carved caps ornamented with female heads, angels, etc.
