 the town, four

 holds two or three grand ravines, 

 each with a brook at bottom ; it is

 the mountain itself. The best part of our " procession 

 of flowers" is always here. 



Here on the plateaus, under the shade of the pines, are 

 the anemone in stintless numbers, daisies, and kinnikinnick.
