Besides this, an alliance between England and Aragon was to be cemented by the marriage of one of Edward's daughters to Alfonso. Delighted with the success of his undertaking, Edward, on his return to Bordeaux, again took the cross and prepared to embark on the crusade. Nicholas IV. interposed between Edward and his vows by denouncing the treaty of Oloron.
Stay here, and during my absence be very intimate at your devoted mother's. Be the most dutiful of sons. Abuse me as much as you please to her; and, above all, don't indulge in any folly; make no demands for money; keep your eyes open. Good-by. To-morrow evening I will be at Oloron talking with this new Clameran."
In the middle of all these dead was the skeleton of one man placed upright, as if to watch over the other bodies. The Duruthy Cave at Sordes opens near the point of junction of the waters of the Pan and Oloron, whence their united waters flow into the Adour.
When did a rheumatic ploughman have recourse to Bath or Buxton? They order these things better in France. Between Osse and Oloron stands Escot, long famous for its warm springs. The principal patrons of this modest watering-place are the peasants. It is their Carlsbad, their Homburg, many taking a season as regularly as the late King Edward.
I am Count Louis de Clameran, an iron-manufacturer at Oloron, and have come to draw three hundred thousand francs deposited in this bank by my late brother, whose heir I am. It is surprising that no direction was given about it." Neither the title of the noble manufacturer, nor his explanations, appeared to have the slightest effect upon the clerks.
I think I had cause for alarm when I could not find you anywhere. Yesterday afternoon I sent you three despatches, to the addresses you gave me, Lyons, Beaucaire, and Oloron, but received no answer. I was almost crazy with anxiety when your message reached me just now." "Things are getting hot, then." "Hot! They are burning!
The twin towns, old and new Oloron, present the contrast so often seen throughout France, picturesque, imposing antiquity beside utilitarian ugliness and uniformity. The open suburban spaces present the appearance of an enormous drying-ground, in which are hung the blankets of the entire department. Blankets, woollen girdles or sashes, men's bonnets are manufactured here.
Faithful to the programme laid down by his accomplice, while Louis watched at Oloron, Raoul remained in Paris with the purpose of recovering the confidence and affection of Mme. Fauvel, and of lulling any suspicions which might arise in her breast. The task was difficult, but not impossible. Mme. Fauvel had been distressed by Raoul's wild extravagance, but had never ceased to love him.
"You don't seem to anticipate any difficulty in carrying out your wishes," he said discontentedly; "how are you to account for your suddenly acquired fortune? M. Fauvel knows that a Clameran lived at Oloron, and had money in his bank. You tell him that you never heard of this person bearing your name, and then, at the end of the month, you come and say that you have inherited his fortune.
He ate his breakfast, and was about to take a walk, when the pains of the previous day suddenly returned, in a more violent form. Without consulting his brother, Louis sent to Oloron for Dr. C , whose wonderful cures at Eaux Bonnes had won him a wide reputation.
