The desultory fire of the guns to the north was muffled. It was apparently no more threatening than the cooing of the pigeons in the vast dome overhead. There was a flutter of wings when a shell exploded in the direction of the Place Royale, and I started when a shower of glass, loosened from its setting by the wind, crashed down on the flagstones of the nave. This was the only interruption. When I left I carefully locked the door, then I closed the gate and locked it behind me. A man who had b...een apparently waiting out- side asked me for the key to the cathedral. Remem- bering my promise, I refused to give it to him. He was willing enough to engage me in conversation, but this was no place, I thought, for a parley. The parvis was strangely silent and except for us two, deserted. There was an impressive stillness in the town, the midday lull in the firing while both sides were at dinner; but there was never any telling when the racket might start up again. I went on through lonely streets, past houses 69 BY MOTOR TO THE FIRING LINE with broken shutters, windows agape, walls spat- tered with shot holes and chimneys leaning precari- ously over the street to the rendezvous at the Hotel , the only hotel now open in Rheims.
