Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Impressions, Thoughts, and Sketches: During Two Years in France and Switzerland Paris, February 10, 183 -. My dear Mother, To find myself in one week transported from our home in Lancashire to the capital of France, from your side to a lonely room in a Parisian boarding-school, is a very marvellous thing, now that I have time to reflect on it; and all my reflections tend to make me very sad. Yet I assure myself that I ought not to be sad, as I am now about to have gratified what has long been my most earnest wish, - namely, to see this great city, and to know the French in their own country. But before I tell you anything about Paris, I must give you the history of my journey, concerning which you will be anxious. When I left you at eight o´clock on Monday last, I might have said with poor Launce, "Nay, it will be this hour ere I have done weeping, all the kind of the Launces have this very fault, I have received my proportion like the prodigious son, and am going to the Imperial´s court;" but I think Launce did not weep very long, nor did I, - I remembered that I was too old to play the baby, I remembered also the comfort which was given to Launce in his sorrow, "Away, ass, you will lose the tide." I did not lose the tide. In a short time I found myself at the river side, and in the ferry-boat found my travelling friends awaiting me.
