The morning had been cold and frosty, but rain came on later, a thick, heavy deluge, which swished and swashed everything from its path as one toiled painfully up those slippery paths, made almost unnegotiable. But my imagination and my hope helped me to make my own sunshine.
You do not mind very much, it is part of the legitimate expense of modern travel. You accumulate great wads of paper. See the people of Vienna and Warsaw, their inside pockets are all misshapen by the bulge of the money. The pockets of an international traveller are worse.

"Because of a little affair called the British fleet," Lutchester pointed out. "There is also," she reminded him drily, "a German fleet, and they haven't met yet." "Ah!
Again something of fear invaded her, to combat which she hurried into speech. "No, I haven't any quarrel with deserts and so on," she repeated. "They're uncommonly useful things for mankind to knock its head against invincible, unnegotiable, splendidly competent to teach humanity its place.
