Transcription
3 streets are so high above others that they must be reached by flights of stairs. We mounted a lot of these to a stone parapet for a view of the town. The houses have the quaintest sloping tiled roofs with windows in them, for all the world like sleepy half-opened eyes. Some of the tiles were black with age. Then we mounted further steps to the great Schloss (castle) which occupied the highest point. A trip through this proved a rare treat. We must, perforce, however, make this in company with a crowd of sight seers with a guide & the way we were all whisked through room after room of that grand old castle was tantalizing. The guide, who was a pretty, fresh-faced girl would unlock a door, show us all in, point out the pictures & objects of interest, while she recited her little piece about them in a clear, high voice. Then she would show us into the next room
