Were we not fortunate, as othershad been there a week and gone away without seeing it.^ We had a long, tiresome ride of twelve hours here, andarriving at Geneva, were informed there were no rooms forus at the Beau Rivage, so came to the National, where wehave a fine front room between us, all we could get. Thishotel is magnificent, right on the lakes, and to-day the air isjust right.

FRANCE Normandy Hotel,Paris, September 15th, Frank: I was so tired I couldnt write as I ought to have done yes-terday, and this is the first time to-day. It is just after tabledhote and we are going with the Cochranes to the Hippo-drome. We do not feel any fear of sickness here.

There was nothing but the ordinary
