Travels in the Pyrenees : including Andorra and the coast from Barcelona to Carcassonne. visage, summoning one away from it all! 17 BOOK VIIIANDORRA CHAPTER I THE VALLEY OF CAROL I LEFT Puigcerda at tenoclock in the morning, and, after driving down to^ . .^-- Bourg-Madame for a lastvisit to the French posterestante, took the levelroad to Ur, and thence along the old moraine to^^ :i Enveitg, following always, ^ the hastening canal.
