mounted by Charles. The Lady 
Agnes fed the horse sugar and rode 
him easily, whereupon said Charles, 
“Nay, then, I can do aught that a 
maid can do,” but realizing the un- 
graciousness of the remark, he amend- 
ed it to “At least I can do anything if 
you will but show me the way.” Years 
afterwards, when King Charles was 
_ not disposed to give Joan of Arc the 
credit which was her due as the 
saviour of her country Lady Agnes 
urged the Abbott Nicholas to do what 
he could for the Maid of Orleans. 
The abbott was thrown into prison 
and Lady Agnes exclaimed to him 
when he returned upon the shameful- 
ness of Charles’ ungratefulness and 
Nicholas remined her of the far 
away day in the Breton woods when 
_ cfarles had said that he could do any- 
thing if Lady Agnes would show him 
the way. Lady Agnes disappeared 
shortly after that and, for years, was 
seen no more. Finally when Charles 
returned victorious after his wars and 
paid a tardy tribute to Joan of Arc, 
Lady Agnes Surrell was recognized 
as the queen of the left hand, who 
had urged Charles on to victories and 
justice. 
The home of Madame de Sevigne 
in Brittany still seems alive with her 
personality and the wonderful old 
gardens are the same and the rooms 
in the chateau still contain the per- 
sonal belongings of the woman, whose 
writings have become so well known. 
The landscape garden by Le Notre is 
one of the finest to be seen today, and 
was always an inspiration to Madame 
de Sevigne. 
Miss Knight closed her interesting 
address with an account of the tradi- 
tion of the Mont St. Michel, which 
is said to be the purification of the 
beautiful but wicked city of Is that 
was sunken in the olden days. The 
Mont St. Michel is a fortress wonder- 
fully fashioned for defense by Nature 
and it is a beautiful and valuable be- 
longing of France. It is fortified not 
only by its own strong walls, but by 
the horrible quicksands surrounding 
it. It is also the situation of a beau- 
tiful convent containing a beautiful 
statue of St. Michel that travelers 
from all parts of the world come to 
see. An interesting legend is con- 
nected with the immense boulders 
which guard St. Michel. Once in a 
hundred years, they are supposed to 
take human form and on St. Sylves- 
ter’s Eve, to rush down to the water 
to drink enough to make up for their 
century’s abstinence. When Rollo the 
Norseman and his men landed here 
many hundreds of years ago, the 
monks told them of this legend and 
as the evening was near at hand

Rollo and his men decided to wait and 
see this wonderful thing. It all hap- 
pened as had been foretold and the 
Norsemen took advantage of the op- 
portunity to sack the place in the ab- 
sence of the guards. The monks had 
not told them all of the legend, how- 
ever, that if the guards came back 
they would crush humans before them 
unless a five leafed clover was held 
as a protection. The Princess Jaselle, 
who with her companions, was study- 
ing in the convent had heard the con- 
versation between the monks and 
Rollo and she and her friends saved 
the Norsemen from destruction when 
the boulders came rolling back from 
the sea, by bringing them five leafed 
clovers in time. Later when the King 
tried to check Rollo’s advance into 
France by offering him/Nurstria, Rollo 
accepted only on the condition that it 
be the Princess Jaselle’s dowry. He 
renamed it Normandy and their wed- 
ding bells were the first chimes of 
Normandy.
