A circle of five gentlemen w^ould have alarmed a very nervous visitor ; but the Count, addressing me in a semi-British and semi-Gallic phraseology, immediately dissipated my fears. In five minutes he was made acquainted with the cause of this apparent intrusion. Nothing could exceed his amiable frankness. The very choicest wine was circulated at his table ; of which I partook in a more decided manner on the following day — when he was so good as to invite me to dine. When I touched upon his fav...ourite theme of Norman Antiquities, he almost shouted aloud the name of Ingulph, — that "cher ami de Guillaume le Conquerant !" I was unwilling to trespass long ; but I soon found the advantage of making use of the name of " Monsieur Mouton — restimable Cure de la Sainte Trinite." FALAISE. 329 In a stroll to Guibray, towards sunset the next day, I passed through a considerable portion of the Count's property, about 300 acres, chiefly of pasture land. The evening was really enchanting ; and through the branches of the coppice wood the sun seemed to be setting in a bed of molten gold.
