I always go first-class if Ronayne's along, haven't to lift so much as a hand satchel, am fairly smothered in comforts, as beseems the true English Philistine I'm become. What it is to be young, gay, and heart-free! For then I went always second class-when I didn't go third!-(except of course on the steamers, where the cheaper accommodation is too rude, and rough companionship too intimate)-and once managed the entire distance from Dresden to London for fifty thalers!-taking it leisurely too stopping en route to "do" Frankfort, Weimar, Heidelberg, Lourain, Bruges, and Antwerp, and to pay two or three visits at grand houses, where they didn't dream I was fresh from the peasants' compartments!Īnd I'd no shillings and sixpences then to fee guards and porters, so had to dodge them, look at them as if I didn't see them, lug about my own parcels, and freeze without a foot-warmer!
Nurse's sickness and the crowd of Cook's tourists (Cook-oos!) aggravated matters but it is always a tedious bit of way, though I never minded it in my solitary artist days, when either Dresden and happy work or home and happy rest were at end of the hard journey. Much, Susie dear, for our small miseries between Blackwall and Rotterdam. Produced by Barbara Tozier, Bill Tozier and the OnlineĮntered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, by SHELDON & CO., in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE GALAXY, MAY, 1877 *** With this eBook or online at Title: The Galaxy, May, 1877
