One evening in autumn, full forty years.,ogo, I was returning from Toulouse; 1 had {ravelled fur that day, having, already passed Aulereve, where some friends of mine would have me spend the,night, bull was resolved to push on to Saverdum, which you know is.three leagues distant on the road. 1 had arrived in front of the monastery ofßoiilbrcnne, when suddenly there burst forth atcrrible storm. In a moment the night became dark and the road ini" possible. 1 should have asked shelter in .the convent, put my horse, frightened at a-sudden clap of thunder, dashed Into a narrow pathway .to the left, and boromo away in spite of all I could dp. ; Notwithstanding the speed ut which lie went, 1 soon perceived that we were on (he direct road lu St. Gabelle. -And when at last ’my horse slackened his pace, which ho did ofhis own good will, 1 found mysclfbofpre the village inn. ” . ■ .* 1 entered.
