back 900 years to the Sevennes noun

one William. abbot Of a monastery be-
side the river Herault, and before then
a warrior in the Crusades, decided to
build a bridge across the swift, noun
tain stream. But as fast as the foun-
dations for the piers were put down

" decided that his lack Of success was
due to interference by the devil.

the Evil One and made compact
with him by the terms Of which the
abbot would complete the bridge, but
the first animal to cross 1t would be-
long thereafter to the devil. So 1t
came about. and the first animal to
cross the bridge was black cat.
