"To be brief, we struck the bargain and--incredible as you may
find it--have been running in double harness ever since. . . .
I couldn't have believed it myself, in prediction: but here it
is--_and until a few hours ago Farrell never guessed_.
"No: that is wrong. He never guessed at all. I told him.
"It came to me, after the first week, as habitually as daily
bread. We put in a couple of days at Mentone, another couple at
Nice; then for a fortnight we made Cannes our centre, with a trip
up to Grasse and several long tramps among the mountains.
After that came St. Tropez, Costebello, Toulon, Marseilles,
Montpellier--with excursions to Aigues-Mortes, the Pont du Gard
and the rest of it. From Montpellier we turned right about on
our tracks; took Cannes again, Antibes; drove along the whole
Corniche in a two-horse barouche. There was a sort of compact
that we'd do the whole Riviera--French and Italian--as thoroughly
as tourists can do it; and we did--from Montpellier to
Bordighera, from Bordighera to Genoa.
