Description

Excerpt: "We talked of London, face to face with a great bristling, primeval glacier.

The hour and the scene were one of those impressions which make up a little, in Switzerland, for the modern indignity of travel-the promiscuities and vulgarities, the station and the hotel, the gregarious patience, the struggle for a scrappy attention, the reduction to a numbered state.

The high valley was pink with the mountain rose, the cool air as fresh as if the world were young.

There was a faint flush of afternoon on undiminished snows, and the fraternising tinkle of the unseen cattle came to us with a cropped and sun-warmed odour.

The balconied inn stood on the very neck of the sweetest pass in the Oberland, and for a week we had had company and weather.

This was felt to be great luck, for one would have made up for the other had either been bad."
