that she should be, if she went a great deal fan ther and then had to come back over the whol length of the road again. But they said that the could ride back, if they chose, in an omnibus for omnibuses were going and coming along th road all the time. Mrs. Morelle yielded to th argument, and so they all went on. When at length they reached St. Aubin, the found it a very silent and solitary place. Th omnibus office was at the entrance to the village where a road turned off into the interior of th island, toward a populous district lying in tha direction. The party, however, did not sto here, but went on through the village. The tid had now begun to go down, and the water ha almost left the harbor. Nothing was to be see within the piers but a few lonesome-looking fish ing vessels settled in the mud. The party went on to the end of the villag and there found a place, in a small green fielc where there were square blocks of building-ston lying upon the ground. They sat down upo these stones to rest, looking out over the water a the same time. , madam, you are not sitting here open air from preference. I have as it is, near here.

They could see the coast c France extending all along the eastern horizo for many miles. They could see groups of rock islands rising here and there out of the sea i various directions. The bay they looked dow upon as upon a map; and the town of St. He lier, with its long lines of piers, and castle wall and ranges of buildings, shone in the sun in very resplendent manner. After remaining for some time on the promon tory they came down to the town again, an proceeded to the omnibus office; and ther after waiting ten minutes for an omnibus t CHAPTER XVIII.
