[I Paint a "Turner"] The summer days passed pleasantly in Heidelberg.

We had a skilled trainer, and under his instructions we were getting our legs in the right condition for the contemplated pedestrian tours; we were well satisfied with the progress which we had made in the German language, [1.

See Appendix D for information concerning this fearful tongue.] and more than satisfied with what we had accomplished in art.

We had had the best instructors in drawing and painting in Germany--Haemmerling, Vogel, Mueller, Dietz, and Schumann.

Haemmerling taught us landscape-painting.
Vogel taught us figure-drawing, Mueller taught us to do still-life, and Dietz and Schumann gave us a finishing course in two specialties--battle-pieces and shipwrecks.
