"Where you going north?" asked another. "To the billets west of Montdidier," Tom answered. "I'm for new service. I came from Toul sector." "Good-night! That's Sleepy Hollow over there." From Compiegne he followed the road across the Aronde and up through Mery and Tricot into Le Cardonnois. The roads were full of Americans and as he passed a little company of them he called,
The Grand Tour cost more than travel in Elizabethan days, when young men quietly settled down for hard study in some German or Italian town. Robert Sidney, for instance, had only £100 a year when he was living with Sturm. "Tearm yt as you wyll, it ys all I owe you," said his father. "Harry Whyte ... shall have his £20 yearly, and you your £100; and so be as mery as you may."
He obeyed, turned his horse's head, and galloped as far as Sezanne without stopping, promising himself most faithfully never again to serve as guide to the Emperor on such an occasion. At the battle of Mery, the Emperor, under the very fire of the enemy, had a little bridge thrown over the river which flows near the town.

Fortunately, as I had calculated on remaining out all day, I had my breakfast and dinner in my game-bag, and I eat as I went along. "'Pardon me, said Méry, interrupting M.

Nevertheless I saw some feathers fall from him. "'You saw some feathers? cried Méry. "'Yes, sir. I even found one, which I put in my buttonhole. "'In that case, said Méry, 'the thrush was hit?
As you did not come in, I resolved to pay a visit in the neighborhood. I go out, and get as far as the Rue St. Mery, when Oh, madame!" "Well?" said Dagobert, "what then?"
"'That was my opinion at the time. I had not lost sight of him, and I continued the pursuit; but the bird was scared, and this time flew away before I got within range. I fired all the same. There is no saying where a stray shot may go. "'A stray shot is not enough for a thrush, said Méry, shaking his head gravely. 'A thrush is a very hard-lived bird.
We had already passed the Aube at Plancy, and the Seine at Mery, but it was necessary to return to Plancy. This was on the 19th, the same day on which the Count d'Artois arrived at Nancy, and on which the rupture of the Congress of Chatillon occurred, which I mentioned in the preceding chapter, following the order in which my souvenirs recurred to my mind.
