AIX LA CHAPELLE, July 27, 1814. I left you turning the corner of Bingen, now let me describe what there presented itself. On the left a beautiful picturesque town, with tower and picturesque-looking steeples placed each exactly on the spot an artist would have selected, with hills and woods on each side and a bridge running over a small river which emptied itself in the Rhine.
They climb up into my turret, O'er the arms and back of my chair: If I try to escape, they surround me; They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine! Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am Is not a match for you all?
Alf Russell hesitated a moment, and then climbed up on the pile of washings and after clearing his throat, sang "When This Cruel War is Over" in his best style, and was applauded from the top of the rock and below. "Now, give us your speech. But no politics," the rebels shouted. Monty Scruggs stepped up on the mound and recited "Bingen on the Rhine" in his best school-exhibition style.
My company will proceed across country, and join her at some agreed spot, probably below Bingen." "I see. Well, my young friend, you have placed before me a very interesting proposal, but I am a business man, and not an adventurer. Unless you can furnish me with security, I decline to advance a single thaler, not to mention a thousand."

The frightful misfortune at Brussels will at least be kept secret, so far as I am concerned. Beaupark House is shut up, and the servants are dismissed, "in consequence of my residence abroad."
Does such an arrangement depend on the parents wholly? Or could the children help much to bring it about? How? Have you heard the story about the Bishop of Bingen in his Mouse- Tower on the Rhine River? Meaning of strange words may be explained in various ways, perhaps some of them scarcely explained at all. These are some of the questions that could well be considered in this poem.
Bingen is an exceedingly pretty place, having at once the somber look of an ancient town, and the cheering aspect of a new one.
They placed the barrier of this imaginary lake in the narrow and picturesque gorge of the Rhine between Bingen and Coblenz: and when it was objected that the lateral valley of the Lahn, communicating with that gorge, had also been filled with loess, they were compelled to transfer the great dam farther down and to place it below Bonn.
I ventured to submit that there were two serious objections to his doing this: In the first place, his presence in the office was absolutely necessary. In the second place, his sudden appearance at Bingen would prove to be a serious, perhaps a fatal, shock to his old friend. "What is to be done, then?" he exclaimed. "I think my aunt may be of some use, sir, in this emergency." "Your aunt?
From Cologne we continued on by rail up the valley of the Rhine to Bingebruck, near Bingen, and thence across through Saarbrucken to Remilly, where we left the railway and rode in a hay-wagon to Pont-a-Mousson, arriving there August 17, late in the afternoon.
