IN VIEW OF THE HOHENZOLLERN'S BIRTHPLACE.
Our cruise came to an end in time to save the margravine from yawning.
The last day of it was windless, and we hung in sight of the colourless low Flemish coast for hours, my father tasking his ingenuity to amuse her.

Then I have acted rightly, nay, judiciously,--I have not made a sacrifice for nothing.
