Chapter one
The hunchback of Mon Sangabrio
It was a lovely morning in the June of eighteen seventy, when I left the little town of B.
In Brittany, for a walk to the neighbouring hill of Mont Saint Gabriel, where there was a celebrated old chapel, commonly counted as one of the sites of the neighbourhood.
I had just left Oxford for the vacation and was refreshing myself after a term's hard work by a walking tour in France.
My companion Galton had sprained his foot.
and was staying at the hotel, resting himself for the day.
But I was unwilling to miss this opportunity of seeing Mont Saint Gabriel, so I started on the morning's walk of some four kilometers alone.
It was a quiet and somewhat desolate route.
And many thoughts about the past and future and eternity came unbidden before my mind.
But I need not trouble my readers with them.
for they have little directly to do with my story.
They were, however, afterwards indelibly fixed on my memory.
I at length reached the little promontory running into the sea on which Mont Saint Gabriel stands.
I climbed over some rocks which bounded the path and made my way up to the picturesque and antique chapel now ruined.
The view was splendid.
The blue sea adorned here and there by little ridges of silver foam.
