Benches cut in the rock surround the sanctuary. Externally a niche contains a rude image of the saint. Still nearer to Montoire, on the left bank of the Loir is Lavardin; high up on the side of the hill, completely screened by a dense wood, is a hamlet of Troglodytes. The principal excavation served originally as a hermitage, and is called La Grotte des Vierges.
It will be suitable enough Hugues and I are to be married some day." "But I have a horse at the inn at Montoire. If I can get it out at that hour, you can come with us to whatever place we may decide upon." "As to that place, you may consider in the meanwhile. There will be time to discuss the matter with Madame when she is escaping with you.
She occupied herself in good works for the poor about Montoire, and so two years passed, each day making her happier and more beautiful. Many times I went between La Tournoire and Paris, always by way of Montoire. In Paris I saw much of Brignan de Brignan, whose moustaches had soon grown back to their old magnitude. And one day whom should I meet in the Rue St.
"Still, if one got through the window is it large enough for that?" "One might get through; but the moat is beneath far beneath." "The window looks toward Montoire, then, if the moat is beneath." "Yes; we can see the sunset." "At all events, a person dropping from the window would alight outside the walls of the chateau?" "Yes, Monsieur, in the moat, as I said. It would be a long drop, too.
Chanzy formed two flying columns, one a division under General Jouffroy, and one a body of 4000 men under General Rousseau, for the purpose of worrying the enemy and keeping him at a distance. These troops, particularly those of Jouffroy, who moved towards Montoire and Vendome, had several small but none the less important engagements with the Germans.
On learning at Montoire that this chateau was the only house in which he was known hereabouts, I assumed that the lady must be in this chateau. It turned out that the only lady here was the Countess herself. Do you wonder, then, at my endeavouring to speak to the Countess first upon the matter of Monsieur de Merri's death?" "Pray go on," said the Count, who was taking short and rapid breaths.
Louis Lambert was born at Montoire, a little town in the Vendomois, where his father owned a tannery of no great magnitude, and intended that his son should succeed him; but his precocious bent for study modified the paternal decision. For, indeed, the tanner and his wife adored Louis, their only child, and never contradicted him in anything.
At Vendome, the rock on which stands the castle is riddled with passages and halls, access to which is obtained not from the castle, but from the town. At Lavardin by Montoire it is the same. At Paulin in Tarn is a noble castle standing on a rock 300 feet high, and in this rock are storerooms, halls, a kitchen, a winding staircase.
"I feared I should," said I, "for it turned out, after the duel, that Monsieur de Merri was on his way to see you, upon some matter of great urgency." "On his way to see me! How do you know that?" I thought it best to tell as much truth as possible. "I learned from his servant that he was bound in great haste for Montoire.
"Oh. I believe she has no people. An orphan, whom he took out of a convent. A gentlewoman, yes, but of obscure family." "I can't suppose she is very happy." "Who knows, Monsieur? They do say the old wolf I mean the Count, Monsieur, we are sometimes playful in our talk here at Montoire, they say he is terribly jealous. They say that is why he keeps her so close. Of course I know nothing of it.
