| I had really wanted to go to Germany, that I might carry forward my studies in German literature, and I first applied for the consulate at Munich. Presently one of the passengers, after vigorously pushing his way through the importunate crowd of porters, came up to him and politely asked if he could point out the English consulate, at the same time showing a passport which he wished to have visaed. When I stepped on shore at Rotterdam, my first proceeding was to ask my way to the English Consulate. |
