The vineyards have been replanted, and in the fulness of time may come to their glory again; but the greater glories of Châteauneuf which belonged to it once because of its Popes, and again because of its sweet-souled Poet must be only memories forevermore. The castles over on the right bank, Montfaucon and Roquemaure, are of the normal painful sort again.
Roquemaure is a crooked, narrow, up-and-down old dirty town, where old customs and old costumes and old forms of speech still live on; and, also, its people have a very pretty taste in the twisting and perverting of historic fact into picturesque tradition as is shown by the way in which they have rearranged the unpleasant details of the death of Pope Clement V. into a bit of melodramatic moral decoration for their own town.
And the forty days were near ended when Pope Clement came to Roquemaure with the death-grip already so strong upon him that even the little farther journey to Avignon was impossible, and he could but lay him down there and die.
Lawrence, could see the tents of Haviland's little army on the southern shore. Bourlamaque, Bougainville, and Roquemaure, abandoned by all their militia, had crossed to Montreal with the few regulars that remained with them. The town was crowded with non-combatant refugees.
