March has been terribly depressed at times, and the doctor said it was nothing but his liver; and Carlsbad is the great place for that, you know." "Perhaps I can get papa to run over some day, if he doesn't like Dresden. It isn't very far, is it?" They referred to Mrs. March's Baedeker together, and found that it was five hours.
If you are a schoolma'am from Peoria, taking your vacation, follow my advice and make your home in the "Bedford District," within easy reach of Stopford Brooke's chapel, and your London visit will stand out forever as a bright oasis in memory's desert waste. All of which I put in here because Larry Hutton forgot to mention it and Mein Herr Baedeker didn't think it worth while.
"You are no other than Miss Baedeker, the well-known authoress." It seemed to him that she breathed deeply. At any rate, her brow cleared and her smile was positively enchanting. Never, in all his life, had he gazed upon a lovelier face.
Apparently, he did not once reflect upon the valuable details which would have fallen like a windfall to me: fishing the child out witnessing the surprise of the family and the stir the thing would have made among the peasants then a Swiss funeral then the roadside monument, to be paid for by us and have our names mentioned in it. And we should have gone into Baedeker and been immortal.
Our bill at Scanno for wine alone was 189 francs, and for beer 92 francs; figures which look more formidable than they are and which I cite only to prove that we for of course I was not alone enjoyed ourselves fairly well during those eighteen days. By the way, what does Baedeker mean by speaking of the "excellent wines" of Scanno, where not a drop is grown?

We were none of us tourists at our little table, we were none of us seeing sights, being far too busy doing the work we were in Venice to do; and no matter what Ruskin and Baedeker taught, "the boys" gave the date which overshadowed for us every other in Venetian history.
There are many other legends connected with the house; you will find them in Baedeker, where it also says: "Kind permission is accorded by Sir Henry Trojan to visitors who desire to see the rooms during the residence of the family in London. Ch. The gardens, too, are well worth a short inspection, special mention being made of the Long Terrace with its magnificent sea-view.
I merely say that to the outward eye it is not yet the city it is manifestly destined to become. Its splendid potentialities do some wrong to its eminently spacious and seemly actuality. But to the mind's eye, to the ideal sense, it has the imperishable beauty of absolute fitness. Omniscient Baedeker informs us that when it was founded there was some thought of calling it "Federal City."
Others were clutching their Baedeker, and their Amelia Edwards, and their "Kismet," and their note-books, and wore a do-or-die expression of countenance. One or two others floated around aimlessly, with dreamy eyes, as if they were already lost in the past which now pressed so closely at hand.
