20 that at Strassburg , as its architecture is more homogeneous. I can pick out already the Gothic, Roman, Byzantine or Renaissance types. It is a beautiful structure, but has not the wonderful clock which Strassburg has. Here, the hours are struck by moving figures. It gives one a creepy feeling to watch these walk out from a recess, as natural as life & strike the hours on a bell. The market-places in these old towns are interesting too & are usually in the square surrounding the cathedral. Here, the peasant women bring their vegetables & fruits & to sell to the inhabitants. Monday afternoon we said good-bye to the Downeys , who return to Strassburg & leave for Hamburg & home, which we proceed to Switzerland , with regrets at leaving such good friends & so charming a town — not to forget the towers!
