"--GRASSE. ] To come to Grasse on foot or in the stage, will well repay the travellerof old-fashioned moods and fancies. Afar, her houses seem to crowdtogether, as they used to crowd within the walls, her red roofs risefantastically one above the other, and higher than them all stands theCathedral with its firm, square tower. Such must have been old Grasse, perched on the summit of her hill. But once inside the town, theseillusions cease. Here are the hotels and the Casino of a thermalstation, ...and the factories of a new world. The traveller finds that thebroad upper boulevards are filled with tourists and smart Englishvisitors; and in the narrow streets pert factory-hands come noisily fromwork. Still he climbs on toward the Cathedral, through tortuous streetsand little alley-ways. And in the gloomiest of them all there is noodour of a stale antiquity, but the perfume of a garden-full of roses, of a thousand orange-blossoms, and of locusts, honey-sweet, and hebegins to think himself enchanted.
