"The Alt-Schloss is indeed a picturesque construction," said the diplomate, by way of generally inviting my confidence. "We were conversing about the poems of Salis and Matthisson," I pursued.
I explained to her that the ruins of the Alt-Schloss had suggested to Matthisson a poem in imitation of an English masterpiece. Matthisson made a study of Gray's 'Elegy, and from it produced his 'Elegy on the Ruins of an Ancient Castle. Miss Ashburton became nationally enthusiastic, and said she should like very much to see the poem.
I cannot restrain my confidences when a man is near me: I buttonholed Sylvester, and I made the plunge. "I used to talk of the Alt-Schloss," I murmured, "with one whom I have lost." "Ah, I comprehend: with my late uncle, perhaps." "No, sir, not with any cynic in a tub, but with a maiden in her flower. It was one of the best points I made with Miss Ashburton."
"Come, old boy!" old boy, indeed! "you must taste the pleasures of Baden-Baden: it is but four o'clock, and we can see the Trinkhalle, the Conversations-Haus, and plenty besides before dinner. Is there any place in particular where you would like to go?" I looked solemnly at him. "I would fain visit the Alt-Schloss," I said.
