Leaping from the coach they would surge round the solitary gendarme. "Where is the postcard shop?" "Tell us we have only two hours where do we get postcards?"
In the Thuringenwald, the Schwartzwald, the Spessart, and some other mountainous districts, it is true, exceptions may be found to this rule; but throughout the best cultivated districts of Germany there are but comparatively few farm-houses in which isolated families live.
