hearing. But the road still ran between dry fields
and over many hills, and the peasants were dis-
agreeable. It seemed in keeping with the day’s
experiences that the long hill leading down into
Vienne should be so steep that I had to get off
the machine and walk. We were both in a fine
temper, J-, moreover, complaining of feeling
ill, by the time we were fairly in the city.—Here, a
priest and his friend, for fear we might not under-
stand their directions, politely came with us from
the river, through twisting streets, to the hotel. I
do not believe we thanked them with half enough
warmth. ’Twas the first, and I wish it had been
the last, civility shown us that day.
