Taking the place of the stone bridge 151 C»e QristMUs mieias of Proteite that was built in Roman times — ^and so well built that it was kept in service almost down to our own day — a suspension bridge here spans the stream : and the poets and the poet- lovers of Vienne- were all a-swarm upon it, their heads and shoulders rising in an animated crenellation above its rail, in waiting for our galley to go by. While we still were a hundred yards away up stream there was a bustling movement among th...em; and then a bouquet, swinging at the end of a light line, was lowered away swiftly — the bright flowers flashing in the sunlight as they swayed and twirled. Our brethren had calculated to a nicety where oiu* boat would pass. Right over the bow came the bouquet, and fairly into the eager hands stretched out for it — while a great cheer went up from the grateful poets in the boat that was echoed by the generous poets in the air. And the pret- tiest touch of all was the garland of verses that came to us with the flowers: to bid us welcome and to wish us God-speed on our way.
