contradistinction to the centre-tower, which would have been larger.
We learn also from M. Licquet that the spire of this central tower was
demolished in 1573, by the Abbé le Veneur, Bishop of Evreux. What
earthly motive could have led to such a brutal act of demolition?]

[81] ["I know perfectly well, says M. Licquet, the little Inn of which the
author here speaks. I can assure him that it never formed any portion
of the "chapter house." It was nevertheless une _dependance
exterieure_ (I will not attempt a version of this phrase) of the
abbey. Dare I venture to say it was the _cowhouse_? (étable aux
vaches). Thank you, good Mons. Licquet; but what is a cow-house but
"an _outer building_ attached to the Abbey?" Vide supra.]

[82] [The heart and entrails only of this once celebrated woman were,
according to M. Licquet, buried in the above spot. The body was
carried to Loches: and BELLEFOREST _(Cosmog._ vol. i. Part ii.
col. 31-32. edit. 1575, folio) gives a description of the mausoleum
where it was there entombed: a description, adds M. Licquet, which may
well serve for the mausoleum that was at Jumieges.]

[83] [Not the smallest portion or particle of a sigh escapes us, on being
told, as my translator has told us, that the "soil" in question has
become the property of another Owner. "Laius EST MORT"--are the
emphatic words of M. Licquet.]

[84] [One of the bells of the Abbey of Jumieges is now in the Tower of that
of St. Ouen, at Rouen. LICQUET.]
