10 We decided at noon, to try a German dining-car. It took some time to find one that the waiter would announce the meal, & you would have to buy a reserved seat from him & eat at a certain time. We discovered the modus operandi in time to get seats at the third call, by two o’clock. Everyone was served family style, instead of individually. Fritz cannot get used to eating bread & potatoes with without butter & called for some, greatly to the disgust of the waiter. The butter has no salt, and I think must be made from oil or oleo-margarine. One gets it only at breakfast, as a rule. At Strassburg , Prof. & Mrs. Downy met us & fell on our necks for joy. It really was a relief to be able to talk English again: the absorbed attention necessary to understand rapid colloquial German had proved very tiring: I was simply exhausted after a day with Prof.
