A Tramp Abroad

CHAPTER XXI
13/29

It is not always easy to tell which of the figures belong among the blest and which of them among the opposite party.

The light was restored to her in Baden the 5th of January, 1839 We made several excursions on foot to the neighboring villages, over winding and beautiful roads and through enchanting woodland scenery.
The woods and roads were similar to those at Heidelberg, but not so bewitching.

Once we wandered clear away to La Favorita Palace, which is several miles from Baden-Baden.
