While here you have only to stoop to pick up pebbles which will allow you to establish the volcanic origin of this region much more certainly than Bou-Derba, des Cloizeaux, and Doctor Marrés have done." This was while we were following the western pass of the Tidifest Mountains, about the 25th degree of northern latitude. "I should indeed be ungrateful not to thank you," I said.
Mademoiselle Ferrand's father is apparently described by d'Hozier as 'Ferrand, Ecuyer, Sieur des Marres et de Ronville en Normandie. Many of Charles's letters are addressed to 'Mademoiselle Luci, SISTER of 'La Grandemain. Now Madame de Vasse seems, from a passage in the Duc de Luynes's 'Memoires, to have been the only daughter of her father, M. de Peze.
A story is related of a lamentable occurrence which took place the 7th June 1812, at the Etoile des Marres, and a similar one happened in August this year, near the same spot. The first of these events was occasioned by the parents of a young lady having refused their consent to her being married to her lover, whose want of fortune was the chief obstacle.
But once, Charles, writing to 'Mademoiselle Luci, addresses the letter to 'Mademoiselle La Marre, for 'Marres. Now, as Marres was an estate of the Ferrands, this address seems to identify 'Mademoiselle Luci' with Mademoiselle Ferrand, the intimate friend, not really the sister, of Madame de Vasse. Mademoiselle Ferrand, as Grimm shows, had a taste for philosophy.
This time warm cloaths, full diet, and good fires, Our pinched flesh, and hungry marres requires; Old cold, dry Age, and Earth Autumn resembles, And Melancholy which most of all dissembles. I must be short, and shorts the short'ned day, What winter hath to tell, now let him say. Now Toes and Ears, and Fingers often freeze, And Travellers their noses sometimes leese.
