Then, as the compartment was not too hot, I covered myself with a
rug, and slept soundly.

At eleven o'clock, on March 14, I arrived at Dijon, and, thanks to
the green star in my button-hole, was recognised in the street by
M. Jullien, the Secretary of the Group. He took me into the Buffet,
where several well-known Esperantists had assembled, and where we had
lunch. Mm. Boirac (Rector of the University), Lambert (Professor
at the University), Lallemant (Collaborator of Diversajxoj), Mme.
Bastoul (Vice-President of the Group), and many others were present.

During the meal M. Boirac explained the proposal _re_ the coming
Dijon University Holiday Course, of which I will treat elsewhere.
Obviously this must greatly help our Cause, if Esperantists from
various countries can meet there.

Then M. Jullien kindly took me over the ancient palace of the Dukes
of Burgundy, and into the museum, where are the renowned Flemish
sculptures. But these also exist for all, and I must at once take my
readers to Mme. Bastoul's home, where they will hear me speaking in a
phonograph, recording my hearty thanks for their kind welcome, and
expressing the hope for a similar meeting in London.

I also was taken over the great biscuit factory Pernot, and was much
interested. Truly the cleanliness and practicality there are most
remarkable.

Having gone to the Hotel de la Cloche, where the Group and the
English Club hold meetings, I dined, and had a little minute in
which to write a short report home, and then I hastened off to the
University, to be present at the Meeting of the Group. My arrival had
been announced in the local papers, and the Hall was quite full to
hear an English Esperantist.

M. Lambert gave the customary explanation of some Grammatical points,
and I then addressed the audience in Esperanto, saying that we in
London remark with great interest the go-ahead characteristics of
Dijon, and I also read a note from our busy Maltese supporter, Dr.
Busuttil, which proved that England was not the only land to observe
their progress.

The meeting over, we went together to a cafe before returning to the
Hotel, to pass the night--if one can call night the time from
midnight to 5.30, when the train leaves for Lyons.

The Group in Beaune had kindly asked me to be present at its
gathering on the following day, but I had to refuse, being expected
in Lyons at mid-day. I however promised to visit Beaune on the return
