Sécheron
Mary Shelley, her half-sister Claire
Clairmont, and Percy had arrived in Sécheron by night on 3
May 1816 and took up lodgings at the
Hotel d'Angleterre where they remained for more than a month before moving
to the opposite side of the Lake at
Cologny. She noted in a letter of
1 June (published in The History of a Six Weeks' Tour as Letter II) that Geneva "is surrounded by a wall, the
three gates of which are shut exactly at ten o'clock, when no bribery (as
in France) can open them."
