Enjoyed the bed immensely and bade a fond farewell to my hosts this morning. Madam had a basin of water for me to wash in, and also washed up my eating gear, so that I felt quite important.
On the move again in cold driving rain through populous country. Followed the Meuse the greater part of the way, then struck off up a narrow valley feeding its tributary, the Vesle. This small town is concerned with zinc mining, and we are sleeping on the hard floors of a large unfinished building intended as a bureau for some of the large works whose chimneys cut the sky.
