She said good-night, and led her mother away toward their stateroom. I went at once in search of the ship's doctor, and met him at the foot of the saloon staircase. "How is Martigny, doctor?" I asked. "Worse, I fear," he answered hurriedly. "He has just sent for me." "Which room has he?" "He's in 375; an outside room on the upper deck," and he ran on up the stair.
"I took a walking tour of Switzerland after I finished my studies in Europe," he said, at last. "So that was how I happened to be at the Hospice the day that dog was taken away. I had heard one of the monks tell about this dog's father, who died saving travellers on an ice-bridge. I went on my way toward Italy, and I saw this dog start down the trail to Martigny, the opposite direction.
"Then, again, good-by." She waved her hand, smiling, and was lost in the crowd. "Come on, Lester," said Mr. Royce's voice. "There's no use standing staring here. We've got our own journey to look after," and he started back along the platform. Then, suddenly, I remembered Martigny. "I'll be back in a minute," I called, and ran up the gang-plank. "Has M. Martigny left the ship yet?"
A calamity as thrilling and not less anticipated will fling a sad memory around the venerable cloisters of Martigny. Cassier is in the group listening to the aged monk recount his adventures; with knitted eyebrows he hears him moralizing on the awful destiny of the future.
As I came down towards Martigny into the pasture land of the great mountain, it seemed to me that the scenery might pass for that of the Delectable Mountains such beautiful, green, shadowy hollows, amid great clumps of chestnut and apple trees, where people were making their hay, which smelled so delightfully, while cozy little Swiss cottages stood in every nook.

A view of it was attended with great difficulties, amongst which may be mentioned our arrival by night at Martigny, where, owing to the crowded state of the hotels, we were everywhere refused accommodation, and it was only on account of a little intrigue between a postillion and a maidservant that we found clandestine shelter for the night in a private house from which the owners were absent.
I didn't dream you'd knew them, until one day you announced things you'd said to Molly in a letter, which which well, things which would need a lot of explanation, too difficult for black and white." "By Jove!" I exclaimed. "Now I know where I'd seen your handwriting before. It was in a letter which Molly dropped almost on my head, from a balcony at Martigny, and there was a photograph "
Then there are the couriers and tourists swarms of them every day what was to hinder him from having a good time with them? I think Bonnivard's sufferings have been overrated. Next, we took the train and went to Martigny, on the way to Mont Blanc. Next morning we started, about eight o'clock, on foot.
