Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, I have been through the whole list, and I don't think I am any the worse for it.

I know more about Madonnas and church-steeples than I supposed any man could.

I have seen some very pretty things, and shall perhaps talk them over this winter, by your fireside.

You see, my face is not altogether set against Paris.

I have had all kinds of plans and visions, but your letter has blown most of them away.
