Excerpt from The Archbishop and the Lady
Quentin had seen his belongings thrown upon the asphalted platform, and picking up his valise, he turned toward the plastered station and entered. He made for the exit, gave up his ticket and passed through the further door. He came upon a circle of green round which the white road wound the end of its Ioop-like thread. The circle and accompanying road reminded him of a frying-pan with a long handle stretching away down the slight incline. There was no carriage standing there as he had expected, and to his disgust no vehicle of any kind.
