When these curiosities are seen, quoth I, half addressing myself to my _valet de place_, who stood behind me----'twill be no hurt if we go to the church of St. _Irenus_, and see the pillar to which _Christ_ was tied----and after that, the house where _Pontius Pilate_ lived----'Twas at the next town, said the _valet de place_--at _Vienne_; I am glad of it, said I, rising briskly from my chair, and walking across the room with strides twice as long as my usual pace---- "for so much the sooner shall I be at the _Tomb of the two lovers_."

'When these curiosities are seen,' quoth I to my valet, 'we will go to the church of St. Ireneus, and see the pillar to which Christ was tied, and then the house where Pontius Pilate lived.'
''Twas at the next town,' said he, 'at Vienne.'
'I am glad,' said I, rising briskly, and striding across the room- 'for so much the sooner shall I be at the Tomb of the two lovers.'
