Mother will be quite tired out by the young enthusiasm of Caroline.

She will demand to be taken everywhere--to Paris continually, of course; to all the stock shrines of history's devotees; to palaces and prisons; to kings' tombs and queens' tombs; to cemeteries and picture- galleries, and royal hunting forests.

My poor mother, having gone over most of this ground many times before, will perhaps not find the perambulation so exhilarating as will Caroline herself.

I wish I could have gone with them.

I would not have minded having my legs walked off to please Caroline.
