Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Bodley Family, and the Viking Bodleys On the last day of August, 1881, a party of Americans left Rotterdam, in Holland, by the steamer which sailed for Harwich, in England, and at five o´clock in the morning of Thursday, September first, this party landed at Harwich in a sleepy condition, and took the Great Eastern Railway direct for London, which they reached in a little less than two hours. It was not the first time that Americans had landed in England, and so there was no great to-do made over them, either in Harwich or at the Liverpool Street station in London, where they left the railway train. It was only when they left their cabs at Albany Street in the West End, that these sleepy Americans really seemed to wake, and it happened in this wise. The house at which they stopped was Mrs. Godolphin´s Family Hotel, although to the naked eye it could not be distinguished from a boarding-house; here they had secured quarters while they were to stay in London, and the door was opened by a neat looking maid in a cap, who appeared to have sat up all night waiting for them, for she was the only person to be seen up and down the street Houses and people all seemed fast asleep.
