Saturday, February 10th. We were to have gone early this morning to Arrima, a village in the mountains, situated among groves of bamboos, where there are mineral springs and a hot-water bath, in which people bathe in the old style. But the weather was impossibly bad for our intended expedition, with showers of snow and sleet.
In rather more than three hours we reached Arrima, a village far more beautifully situated than any we had seen, in the very centre of the mountains, where a dozen valleys converge into one centre. On one side are mineral springs, on the other a river.
Matilde, su felicidad de usted es la única idea que me ha preocupado siempre, y si algún día, en medio de los países remotos en que voy a arrastrar mi mísera existencia, me llegará por acaso la noticia.... DOÑA MATILDE. ¡Qué! ¿Se va usted tan lejos? DON EDUARDO. ¡Oh! Sí, muy lejos. DOÑA MATILDE. Arrima unas sillas, Bruno.... ¿Y dónde? Esto es, si usted no tiene interés en callarlo.
The wind dropped at sunset, and as it continued calm all night, Tom ordered fires to be lighted at 4 a.m. By six o'clock, however, it was blowing harder than ever, and we therefore decided to make an excursion to Arrima instead of attempting another start.
