Transcript | THE RETURN. 107 burnings—the births, the deaths, the hopes— the fears—all the changes of some hundred years, that had taken place in this noble palace. The sad, deserted look in the daylight was one to reflect upon ; but when passing it in the still night the gloominess and ghost-like appearance of the great pile of building had a most solemn effect, and we felt almost a shudder in passing, as though some wicked deed had been perpetrated within ^ts walls. At length we arrive at the railway station—a queer thing to get out of a boat and find oneself in a railway office. Having seen to the booking of our luggage, a long process, the payments having to be made in gold or silver, for none of the shabby little paper money which is in constant use here will be taken, we start at eleven o'clock p m. for Munich, a long journey, occupying until about seven o'clock the following evening. The train was one of those called express, but only in name, except that thty do not stop at all the stations, but make up for it by staying about half-an-hour at those where they do stop. |
