Excerpt from The Queen's Maries: A Romance of Holyrood Chapter I "Turn back, turn back, ye weel-fau'red May, My heart will break in three, And sae did mine on yon bonny hill-side, When ye wadna let me be!" Many a smiling plain, many a wooded slope and sequestered valley adorns the fair province of Picardy. Nor is it without reason that her Norman-looking sons and handsome daughters are proud of their birth-place, but the most prejudiced of them will hardly be found to affirm that her sea-board is either picturesque or interesting, and perhaps the strictest search would fail to discover a duller town than Calais in the whole bounds of France.
