The notary's nose;

240 NOTES. 10 (p. 201). " Clocher, clocher, come or I die." The translator finds this verse too much for him. Clocher is probably a proper name, but it also means a bell-tower or steeple, and perhaps the line has some implications correspondent to those of the story of Mahomet and the mountain. 1 (p. 210). There seems to be no English equivalent for this, but it is too good to be lost.
