Pere Issacar was a fair man and promised to furnish frames, paper, and pastels, and to pay the young girl fifteen francs for each marquise. What was better yet, he promised, if he was pleased with the first work, to order of the young artist a dozen canonesses of Remiremont and a half-dozen of royal gendarmes. I wish you could have seen those ladies when Maria went home to tell the good news.
"Oh, yes, sir; last year two travellers were drowned between Sainte-Ame and Remiremont; to tell the truth, the gentlemen looked like you!" "Thanks for the compliment!" "The gentlemen probably had no guide," said the carman. "No." "Well, we shall take a guide along; can you get one for us?" "To-morrow, but not to-day." "Why not?" "Because my people are busy; but to-morrow it can be done."
Thus enterprise has been stimulated in various quarters, and we find really good accommodation in out-of-the-way spots not mentioned in guide-books of a few years' date. Gerardmer is now reached by rail in two hours from Epinal, on the great Strasburg line, but those who prefer a drive across country may approach it from Plombieres, Remiremont, Colmar and Muenster, and other attractive routes.
"A frightful event, which has just thrown two of our best families into mourning, has caused the greatest consternation throughout the Remiremont district. Monsieur le Baron de Bergenheim, one of the richest land- owners in our province, was killed by accident at a wild-boar hunt on his own domains.
On Sunday, May 26, 1907, during a violent storm that swept over that region of the Vosges, among the great quantity of hailstones that fell at the time a certain number were found split in two. On the inner face of each of the halves, according to the local papers that appeared the next day, was the image of the Madonna venerated at Remiremont and known as Notre Dame du Trésor.
I am far from my dear mistress; and my friend, a few leagues more, and I must lose him too. Oh, let me drink thy friendship pure while I may, and not dilute with any of these stupid females." "And shalt, honey-pot, and shalt," said Denys kindly'. "But as to my leaving thee at Remiremont, reckon thou not on that!
Beggars are numerous, but we are told they are strangers, who merely invade these regions during the tourist season. Remiremont, our next halting-place, may be reached by a pleasant carriage drive, but the railway is more convenient to travellers encumbered with half-a-dozen trunks. The railway, moreover, cuts right through the beautiful valley of the Moselle a prospect which is missed by road.
Even the fastidious tourist, however, will hardly care to exchange his somewhat rough and noisy quarters at Remiremont for the cosmopolitan comforts of Plombieres within such easy reach. It is a pretty drive of an hour and a half to Plombieres, and all is prettiness there its little park, its tiny lake, its toy town.
Several days later, the Sentinelle des Vosges contained the following paragraph, written with the official sorrow found in all death-notices at thirty sous per line: "A frightful event, which has just thrown two of our best families into mourning, has caused the greatest consternation throughout the Remiremont district.
The count is a faithful supporter of the monarchy, and will no doubt accede to my request to send some policemen here this very night to arrest Girdel and Fanfaro. The rest I shall see to." "My lord, I congratulate you," said Simon, respectfully. Before Robeckal had gone with Simon, he had hurried to Rolla and told her that he was going to Remiremont now to get some policemen.
