Three Years in Europe

1872

The Hooghly widened as we went down the river and we bade a long farewell to the huts and fields and villages of our native country —to the palm-trees the dates and the green-woods which stood on both sides of the river luxuriant and beautiful. [...] To walk in the green pasture lands and fields covered with the luxuriant verdure of spring to scale the chalky cliffs of South England or saunter on the green hills in the eveing silently watching the quiet windmills on the tops of hills to hear the skylark pouring forth harmonious madness" from its aerial height to spend an evening on the pebbly beach and hear the wild and ceaseless song [...] The drawbridge the moat all round the towers and turrets the watch-towers the fearful underground dungeons the dining hall the numerous rooms and passages the kitchen the ladies' room with its beautiful window the chapel everything corresponds with the descriptions we read of the castles of the Middle Ages ; while the ivy creeping through the windows and over the walls threw an aspect':O [...] The problem of the condition of the poor engages the attention of Englishmen and The London Poor. [...] A stranger coming to Brighton at the season time cannot fail being struck with the pomp and splendour the mirth and gaiety the beauty and magnificence of the place —with the music on the parade the swell carriages whirling through the hundred streets and the swell people flocking to the numerous haunts of amusement.
