Ils savent que j'habite une jolie maisonnette cinq cents pas du village, en suivant la grve, et que je vis compltement seul, car ma vieille gouvernante ne peut pas tre considre comme me tenant compagnie, ils me voient tous les jours traverser leur bourgade, mon tlescope sous le bras, me rendre sur le mle, parcourir la mer jusqu' l'horizon avec ma lunette, et revenir chez moi, ou flner sur la cte pendant une heure ou deux. C'est peu prs tout ce que ces braves gens connaissent de ma personne, de mes habitudes, et de mon histoire. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
