These views are the property of the sub-prefect of the department, who resides at the Chateau de Loches, and who has also the enjoy- ment of a garden a garden compressed and curtailed, as those of old castles that perch on hill-tops are apt to be containing a horse-chestnut tree of fabulous size, a tree of a circumference so vast and so perfect that the whole population of Loches might sit in con- centric rows beneath its boughs.

"You will think little of it on your own feet, Vera, and the church is much nearer, Paulina, only on the other side of the hill." "May I have a bicycle of my own?" burst in Thekla, again; while every one began laughing, and Agatha told her that Sister would think her brains were cycling.
