IFTEEN years had passed since I was at Virelogne, I returned there in the autumf to shoot with my friend Serval, who had at Jast rebuilt his chateau, which the Prussians had destroyed. T loved that district. It 1s one of those delightful spots which have a sensuous charm for the eyes. You love it with a physical love. We, whom the country enchants, keep tender memories of certain springs, certain Woods, certain pools, certain hills seen very often which have stirred us like Joyful events.
