11 Drude . Mrs. Downey has learned to talk very well during her year here & wants to “practice” all the time. I begged off, temporarily, however, & tongues wagged fast, as we drove up to their pension. This was not nearly so nice as at Dresden , but we did not pay so much for it. Thursday we spent getting a glimpse of Fres Strassburg , though I must not forget to mention the first evening spent at the concert garden, where we heard good music by a good orchestra, watched the students curiously as they sat at long tables, drinking their beer, & met some of the Downey’s German friends. Strassburg is an old, old town, with an ancient wall & moat, curious narrow, winding streets, ancient steep-roofed houses. Our first glimpse of a famous cathedral struck us dumb with awe at its immensity & beauty, but oh, how cold & damp & grim it was! It seemed incongruous to see worshippers, kneeling here & there while sight-seers walked
