5 p.m.
I do n't know what it all meant , but the Comtesse de Tournelle is now called `` la demoiselle ! '' The two young men leave us for the day , to do their duty at Versailles , but are to meet us again at Rouen in the evening , with leave for a few days . We are just going on board , so I will finish this presently . _ 5 p.m. _ -- The scenery is too beautiful after you pass Vernon , and it was so interesting getting in and out of the locks . The Baronne and I and Jean talked together on the raised deck , while de Tournelle read to the Marquise in the bows . The old Baron is mostly with the sailors , and Héloise slept a good deal . Every now and then Hippolyte came out from his cooking place , and one saw his baboon face appearing on a level with the deck floor , and he would explain all the places we passed , and it always ended with : `` Il ne faut pas que Mme. La Baronne pionce c'est très très intéressant . ''
