Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Wing: Rambling Notes; Trip to the Pacific The first night in Wagner "sleeper," en route for California, is apt to be one of the experiences of life. You have not yet got your sea-legs on, so to speak; you haven´t fully mastered the seaman-like roll which is to carry you safely over the heaving deck of the palace car; the management of your equilibrium bothers, and you are just sufficiently dazed and tired to be a little miserable whether or no. When the time comes to enter your bunk, even if it has a double berth, you lose heart still more. It looks so straight, and the curtains so heavy, you bump your poor head getting in and your poor back getting out; you are tingling yet with a sort of sub-acute excitement at the danger and daring of your rash act in going west on a flying trip through the dark, and the spasms of home-sickness, which have been coming and going at intervals all day, begin to settle into a sober ache of longing.
