le haut de la ville : la rue Jacquet

" Rochefort in February! We shall all be frozen to death." " At least," I argue, " there is pure air to breathe." " But you can have no idea of the dulness," is all the reply I receive; " Rochefort, with its one street and its one resident, is bad enough in the summer, but at this season it will be unendurable." Yet I am not to be turned from my purpose. I consider it is better to be frozen outwardly than burned inwardly; and that when one is flying from a pestilence there is no time to regret the numerous pleasures left behind, or the few that loom in the future. Mrs Ross Churchs, 1869
