In the afternoon M. Tauchnitz sent H. a package of his entertaining English publications, to read in the cars, also a Murray for Germany. H. and I then took the cars for Halle, where we hoped to spend the Sabbath and meet with Dr. Tholuck. Travellers sometimes visit Chamouni without seeing Mont Blanc, who remains enveloped in clouds during their stay. So with us.
It need be no cause for surprise that as early as 1872 he had secured Tauchnitz, of Leipzig, for his Continental agent.
The experiments in cooking were amusing; so were the marketings in odd little shops that sold what one wanted, and a great many things that one had never heard of. The round of concerts and theatres and tram-rides had not begun yet. In the evenings Betty drew, while Paula read aloud from the library of stray Tauchnitz books Betty had gleaned from foreign book-stalls.
What should you do if we were lost? Build me a hut to take shelter in? or take off your coat to keep me warm and then go and look for the nearest village? That is what happens in some of the Contessa's old books but, ah, not in the Tauchnitz now. But it would be nonsense, of course, for there are the red chimneys of the Hall staring us in the face, so how could we be lost?"
"I hoped you were," said Rachel, as she helped herself to the first entrée. "Then you haven't read my books," he chuckled, "and you never must." "But I have," protested Rachel, quite flushed in her turn by the small excitement. "I read heaps of them in Tauchnitz when we were abroad. But I had no idea that I should ever meet you in the flesh!" "Really?" he said.
The prevailing tone was of a gray tending to the pale yellow of the Tauchnitz editions with which the place is more familiarly associated in the minds of English-speaking travellers.
Gemma smiled her rare slow smile as she put it in her purse. There was a photograph of her aunt Olive's mother on the dressing-table, and a Tauchnitz edition of Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon lay beside it, the embroidered tassel of the marker being one of Astorre's pitiful little gifts. She swept them off on to the floor and poured the contents of the ink-stand over them.
Clearly a plot was brewing-, and the author was grateful to Dora for restricting her interruptions to an occasional impatient sigh and the taking up and dropping again of her Tauchnitz. With the men tongues moved more. "Well, General," said Deane, "what's Miss Dora's ultimatum about your staying in Paris?" Charlie pricked up his ears and buried his face behind La Vie Parisienne.
And soon, he found plenty of makeshifts to see her; amongst other things, he arranged to help her twice a week with harmony, which was, to her, an unexplorable abyss; and he ransacked the rooms and shelves of his acquaintances to find old Tauchnitz volumes to lend to Mrs. Cayhill.
It is easier to sit in the hotel all day and read Tauchnitz than it is to tramp through churches and galleries and museums." "No Tauchnitz; I promise." And Merrihew was an inveterate novel reader. At the book-shop in the Piazza they found the Rome and Florence papers. Hillard went through them thoroughly, but nowhere did he see anything relative to the doings of the American Comic Opera Company.
