After a long evening, the curtain went down, and all the people got up and left--yet no Margaret had appeared.

I was puzzled; but my friend explained that the play was only half over.

If I desired to see the rest, I would have to come back the following evening.

What do you think of that?
Well, I didn't go back--I went to Lucerne, next morning.
I wanted to see the Alps, of course, and we got a distant view only of them from Zurich.

Here, at Lucerne, we have them in all their grand beauty.
I don't mind admitting to you that my purse would not allow my stopping longer at the Schweizerhof, than to merely take a good look at the exterior.
