A story is told of a notary of long ago who dwelt in these places
where an inn with rooms to let already existed: a dining-room,
a living-room, a kitchen, some bedrooms, a stable, some animals.

Husband, wife and daughter welcomed the guests with lovely
and home, like cordiality while attending the daily chores.

The notary did like the relaxing and peaceful atmosphere
of the place and his presence, either for professional reasons,
or the pleasure of the warm welcome, or the beautiful look
of the girl who took care of the ducks at the pond,
was more and more frequent.

The girl too, with her dreaming eyes and innocent smile,
anxiously waited for the notary’s coming,
while passing the time on needle work.

A legeng, a fable, something true? Perhaps a bit of it all;
we do like to believe the story is true.
