Excerpt from Harvest Gleanings: A Holiday Book Was travelling in Germany, from Weimar to Frankfort, and had stop ped at a little town one or two stages beyond Fulda; I was stand ing at the window of the inn, which was Opposite to the post-house, and looking at a crowd of travellers who had just been disgorged from a huge eil-wagen, or post coach, which was standing there. Among them was one female, who, before/i was aware, fixed my attention. Although closely enveloped in a winter dress from head to foot, her height, and the easy de cision with which she moved, showed that her figure was fine and well proportioned; and as the wind blew aside her black veil, l had a glimpse of features which still further excited my curiosity. I had time to consider her as'she alighted and walked over to the inn alone. She entered the room at once - it was a sort of public saloon - in which I was sum moued the waiter, whom she addressed in a good humored but rather familiar style, and ordered breakfast; not a cup of chocolate or cafe an Zait.
