Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Duty and Off: Letters of Elizabeth Cabot Putnam When I left Father on the dock I thought I should certainly burst; I never felt so awfully in my life. I looked everywhere for him on the wharf until the boat sailed, but it is just as well I didn´t see him, for I should probably have gone on shore again for good if I had. I went in to look for steamer letters and could find only one, which was rather a staggerer, - but about fifteen turned up later, as well as two books and a great basket of fruit from Uncle Frank. This boat is the most minute thing imaginable and is filled twice as full as it ought to be because the boat of the week before was taken off. In consequence there is (for over three hundred passengers) a salon holding about twenty, and a tiny bar-smoking-room; not enough steamer chairs to go round, two services of the meals; four people in rooms that are barely equipped for two. In our stateroom there are two washstands, two tiny drawers, four double hooks, and that is all. Absolutely nothing in the way of a cupboard or closet. My room-mates are three young Frenchwomen.
