We consented to the operation, and were each shown into a little marble bath room, in which I felt like a bit out of a picture by Alma Tadema. WE CONSENTED TO THE OPERATION AND WERE EACH SHOWN INTO A LITTLE MARBLE BATH ROOM IN WHICH I FELT LIKE A BIT OUT OF A PICTURE BY ALMA TADEMA
, when the family would be at home? She did not herself know where the things were kept. We went down on to the sands this morning. We had not been walking up and down for more than half an hour before we came across the distinct imprint of a human foot. Someone must have been there this very day! We were a good deal alarmed. We could not imagine how he came there. The weather is too fine for shipwrecks, and it was not a part of the coast where any passing trader would be likely to land. Besides, if anyone has landed, where is he? We have been able to find no trace of him whatever. To this hour, we have never discovered who our strange visitant was. It is a very mysterious affair, and I am glad we are going away. We have been travelling about a good deal since we left Munich. We went first to Heidelberg. We arrived early in the morning at Heidelberg, after an all-night journey, and the first thing that the proprietor of the Royal suggested, on seeing us, was that we should have a bath.
