My first care on arriving in this town was to find a countrywoman of mine who had been married to a lawyer here.

It is said of the Viennese that they cannot live away from their Stephen's steeple; but here was a proof of the contrary, for there are few couples living so happily as these friends, and yet they were nearly one thousand miles from St.Stephen's steeple.

{47} I passed through the whole town on the way from the quay to the hotel, and thence to my friend.

The town is not large, and not very pretty.
The newly-built portion is the best, for it at least has broad, tolerably long streets, in which the houses are of brick, and sometimes large.

In the by-streets I frequently found wooden barracks ready to fall.
