When I had acknowledged I was that same person, our conversation turned on that and on my present journey.
One of the gentlemen, Herr Katze, was very intelligent, and conversed in a most interesting manner on countries, nationalities, and scientific subjects.

The other gentleman was probably equally well informed, but he made less use of his acquirements.

Herr Katze remained in Teplitz, and the other gentleman proceeded with us to Vienna.

Before arriving at our destination, he asked me if Herr Katze had not requested me to mention his name in my next book, and added, that if I would promise to do the same, he would tell me his name.

I could not refrain from smiling, but assured him that Herr Katze had not thought of such a thing, and begged him not to communicate his name to me, so that he might see that we females were not so curious as we are said to be.
