the schoolmaster had both beensent for, and presently arrived, the latter accom-panied by his very pretty bride in peasant dress,who seemed to be twenty, though she was butsixteen years old. She obstinately refused to allowthe Baroness to take a photograph of her, and thusforeshadowed difficulty in obtaining models topaint. The Notary, who was friendly and talka-tive, told us that his house at the lower end ofthe village was too large for him, that he would beprepared to take lodgers the following year, andurged us most warmly to come ourselves. Wethereupon agreed to postpone our sojourn until then,and promised to write to him before we came. Early in the afternoon dancing began with aCsardds.
