It was pretty much the same through the whole journey, waste lands, marshes, and forests alternated.
Suger then took from the altar the standard famed to have been sent by heaven, and formerly carried by the first liege man of the abbey, the Count de Vexin, when the monastery was in danger of attack and handed it to the king: the pope gave him a pilgrim's wallet.
Ludisti satis, edisti satis, atque bibisti; Tempus abire tibi est.... Only Lector I keep by me for a very little while longer with a special purpose, but even he must soon leave me; for all good things come to an end, and this book is coming to an end has come to an end. The leaves fall, and they are renewed; the sun sets on the Vexin hills, but he rises again over the woods of Marly.
When we returned, all these little details greatly amused the King. He, too, wanted to go and see the castle of another Fouquet, but, as we complained of the bad roads, he ordered these to be mended along the entire route. The Second Comte de Vexin. He is made Abbe of Saint Denis. Priests or Devils? The Coronation Diadem. Royalty Jokes with the Monks. My poor little Comte de Vegin died.

But there's no good quarrellin' wi' teathy folk; and it may lie in his way to do the George mony an ill turn, and mony a gude one; an' it's only fair to say it happened a long way before he was born, and there's no good in vexin' him; and I lay ye a pound, Captain, the Doctor hods wi' me."
Two days later he had an interview with King Philip at the old meeting-place near Gisors.
