The itinerary arranged by Lefebre, left the main road at Saint-Andre-de-Fontenay near the hamlet of Basse-Allemagne; night was falling when Lanoë's carriage crossed the Orne at the ferry of Athis. From there they went to Bretteville-sur-Odon in order to enter the town as if they had come from Vire or Bayeux.
Let him again, on his homeward journey, try and persuade the people of Mortain and Vire that he does not intend to visit Paris, and he will be able to form some estimate of its importance in the eyes of the French people.

Here's to thee, good apple-tree Pockets full, hats full, great bushel-bags full! Amen, an' vire off the gun!

But, to my surprise, barely an instant elapsed before the door opened, and I saw before me Simon Fleix! Discovering who it was, he cowered back, with a terrified face, and retreated to the wall with his arm raised. 'You scoundrel! I exclaimed, restraining myself with difficulty.
