The firm reticence as to the supreme secrets of her life, and her steadfast loyalty to that which she honestly believed was truth, must ever command the affectionate admiration of all those who prize integrity of mind and purity of purpose, who hold fast to the divinity of love, and who believe in the things unseen which are eternal. The town of Montargis is one day's bicycle journey from Paris.
By this means all Nemours came to know the profession of Ursula's father, a secret the old doctor had sedulously kept. Savinien did not go to Montargis. He received in the course of the day an anonymous letter containing a prophecy: "You will never marry Ursula. If you wish her to live, give her up at once to a man who loves her more than you love her.
Then he found himself once more in the Rue de la Femme-sans-Tete, where he breakfasted at Gomard's wine shop, whose sign 'The Dog of Montargis, inspired him with interest.
On the 7th of January, 1649, an order was sent from the King to the Parliament to remove to Montargis, to the Chamber of Accounts to adjourn to Orleans and to the Grand Council to retire to Mantes. A packet was also sent to the Parliament, which they would not open, because they guessed at the contents and were resolved beforehand not to obey.
Nemours is commanded on the Gatinais side by a hill, at the foot of which runs the road to Montargis and the Loing. For buildings, as for men, position does everything. Shaded by a few trees, and thrown into relief by a neatly kept square, this solitary church produces a really grandiose effect.
The King several times went to see the troops that had been stationed near Paris; after this they were sent away again. Those which had formed a little camp at Charenton, returned to Montargis to work at the canal making there. Law, for commercial reasons, had some time ago caused Marseilles to be made a free port.

I am a native of the province, but I have never travelled along this road, which can be but little used. East of Montargis the traffic goes by the great road through Melun to Paris; while the traffic of Orleans, of course, goes north through Etampes."
As soon as they were off, La Noue reined in his horse so as to ride in the midst of his friends, and chatted gaily with them as they went along. An hour and a half's brisk riding took them to Montargis. Instead of keeping straight on, as most of those present expected, the two men who were riding a short distance in advance of the column turned sharp off to the left, in the middle of the town.
He had wrecked his life; he ought to have got himself engaged in the building line in the old times when he had lunched at the 'Dog of Montargis, Gomard's tavern, where he had known a Limousin, a big, strapping, merry fellow, whose brawny arms he envied.
