Walked over the Park with Mr.
With the southland this volume does not deal; that is a subject to be considered quite by itself, and significantly, more real interest has been shown with respect to the architectural monuments of Avignon, Arles, Nîmes, Le Puy, Périgueux, Carcassonne, and Poitiers than to those of the Midi.
In the heart of those mountains, at Puy, religion has effects that are eerie; it uses odd high peaks for shrines needles of rock; and a long way off all round is a circle of hills of a black-blue in the distance, and they and the rivers have magical names the river Red Cap and Chaise Dieu, "God's Chair."
"I wonder why it is," Eustace Le Neve interposed, to spare Cleer's feelings, "that so many high places, tops of mountains and so forth, seem always to be dedicated to St. Michael in particular? He seems to love such airy sites. There's St. Michael's Mount here, you know, and Mont St. Michel in Normandy; and at Le Puy, in Auvergne, there's a St.

All the people who live by the higher waters of the Dordogne, whether they belong to the Puy de Dome, the Cantal, or the Correze, are called Auvergnats in Perigord, or, rather, such of them as come down the stream with their small barges laden with wood, when the autumnal rains have commenced, and there is sufficient water in the river for their purpose.

Man gomes in and wands a goat," he seemed to be speaking of a garment and not a domestic animal, "Isaac'll zell him the goat he wands him to puy, and he'll make him believe it 'a the goat he was a lookin' for. Well, now, that's well enough as far as it goes; but you know and I know, Mr.
'O, tear, tear, said he, 'can't you make him four tollar? Shake dells me: Fader, ton't you puy ofer four tollar. You should see my Shake; he is only dwendy-dwo, but he got a young head on old shoulters. I told him that, seeing it was he, I would make the price $5, and he ordered twenty-four pairs."
I decided on a sleeping-sack; and after repeated visits to Le Puy, and a deal of high living for myself and my advisers, a sleeping-sack was designed, constructed, and triumphantly brought home. This child of my invention was nearly six feet square, exclusive of two triangular flaps to serve as a pillow by night and as the top and bottom of the sack by day.
