"Look out for Evangeline while the bell rings."

When one rides into a region of romance he does not much notice hisspeed or his carriage; but I am obliged to say that we were nothurried up the valley, and that the cars were not too luxurious forthe plain people, priests, clergymen, and belles of the region, whorode in them. Evidently the latest fashions had not arrived in theProvinces, and we had an opportunity of studying anew those that hadlong passed away in the States, and of remarking how inappropriate afashion is when it has ceased to be the fashion.
