Thence we shall look down upon both valleys, and you will see a magnificent view. The plateau lies three thousand feet above the level of the Mediterranean; we shall see over Savoy and Dauphine, and the mountain ranges of the Lyonnais and Rhone. We shall be in another commune, a hill commune, and on a farm belonging to M. Gravier you will see the kind of scene of which I have spoken.
There were old clerks and bookkeepers among the soldier firemen retired gendarmes who had volunteered, a country schoolmaster, and a shrewd peasant from the Lyonnais. Watch was kept from the heights of the citadel, and the outbreak of fire in any part of the city was telephoned to the shop. On that day only a few explosive shells had fallen.
His knees were bent, his head wagged and drooped with extreme fatigue, he was the colour of old blotting-paper; but still he kept the tips of his two forefingers exactly twenty-five centimetres apart, well above his head, and pressed against the wall of the Credit Lyonnais. 'You will not match that with your aristocratic sentiment! said the author of the scene in pardonable triumph.
The first bishop of Lyon was honoured throughout Provence, Languedoc, and the Lyonnais as a saint, and as his name happened to be Pothin, Photin, or Fotin, commonly pronounced by the low orders Foutin, these people, who are very apt to judge of the nature of things by the sound of the words by which they are designated, thought St.

"I have opened a credit for her," explained the novelist, wearily, "at the Credit Lyonnais, in Paris." Dunbar scribbled busily in his notebook. "Does she take her maid with her?" he jerked, suddenly.
I brought five thousand francs in notes thinking you would want them for your expenses here, but you can write a cheque on the Crédit Lyonnais and I will get it cashed for you at once." He produced from a wallet a bundle of pink and blue bank notes and counted out five thousand francs, then she wrote a cheque for fifteen thousand payable to him.
I was sure that if there was going to be trouble, either in China or Egypt, he could not keep out of it. So I cabled him to the Credit Lyonnais, "Are you well? If going any more campaigns, please take me."

And well has the Lyonnais sculptor given these characteristics in his charming statues adorning the Hotel de Ville of his native city.
The whole place knew it, and some meddling person burst on Alice with the news, roughly and coarsely given, that they were coming to call her to account for her goings on.
