breakfast Paunie [Miss Pauline Shaw] and I gener-

best are delightful. This morning... coming out 
from [St. Germain ]’Auxerrois] we crossed one of the 
bridges, standing long to watch the craft on the river 
— the passenger boats going to and fro. And then on 
the other side we followed the Quais, where they sell 
the old books and engravings, music, etc., and past 
the Institut (I thought how often Agassiz had gone 
out and in there), and along the old street of quaint, 
queer shops, and then returned across another bridge 
and by the garden of the Tuileries home to our 
hotel. 
There is something very attractive in wandering 
about on foot in this independent fashion, mousing 
out things for ourselves — much better than going 
about in carriages, I think, and I am glad to find that 
I can do a good deal on foot.
