Excerpt from Hither and Thither in Germany IT is now twenty years more or less since Basil March, then an elderly editor, left his periodical in New York, and went out to take the Cure at Carlsbad. He took the Cure in the manner prescribed by the doctor there, and then at the end Of four weeks, the doctor allowed him to take the after-cure according to his own fancy. GO where you please - to Innsbruck if you like, or to Holland. Keep traveling, but don't travel too hard, and Mrs. March, who had come to Carlsbad with him, promised the doctor that he should follow his advice to the letter. She was a Bostonian by birth, and they had not lived in New York so long that she did not feel able to keep her word. They sailed late in the summer to Hamburg, and they landed at Cuxhaven, which they found by experience was some three hours away from the ancient Hanseatic metropolis.
