The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

There is not a town in all France, which, in my opinion, looks better in the map, than Montreuil; -- -- -I own, it does not look so well in the book of post-roads; but when you come to see it -- to be sure it looks most pitifully.

There is one thing, however, in it at present very handsome; and that is, the innkeeper's daughter: She has been eighteen months at Amiens, and six at Paris, in going through her classes; so knits, and sews, and dances, and does the little coquetries very well.
