bm I ease out this morning I wanted to jump ana run t® think I was 
actually here, on my way to se© all those types. At about the first 
street crossing I Involuntarily did it—and recalled that I had road 
that th® only traffic rules in Surop® wer® "Driv® lik® and h®av®n 
help the Man who can't jimp," Th®r® is only on® train a day for Vi®nna 
th® short ®r way, through Germany, th® Ori®nt Sxpr®ss. 1 got the ticket 
of Cook, !2h«r® is no s@oond class on th® lixpress, so I had to tali® 
first— 610 francs (including sleeper$j 11 francs for ft* so that is
