The sail up the Rhine was perfect , and I just sat and enjoyed it with all my might . Get Father 's old guidebooks and read about it . I have n't words beautiful enough to describe it . At Coblentz we had a lovely time , for some students from Bonn , with whom Fred got acquainted on the boat , gave us a serenade . It was a moonlight night , and about one o'clock Flo and I were waked by the most delicious music under our windows . We flew up , and hid behind the curtains , but sly peeps showed us Fred and the students singing away down below . It was the most romantic thing I ever saw -- the river , the bridge of boats , the great fortress opposite , moonlight everywhere , and music fit to melt a heart of stone . When they were done we threw down some flowers , and saw them scramble for them , kiss their hands to the invisible ladies , and go laughing away , to smoke and drink beer , I suppose . Next morning Fred showed me one of the crumpled flowers in his vest pocket , and looked very sentimental . I laughed at him , and said I did n't throw it , but Flo , which seemed to disgust him , for he tossed it out of the window , and turned sensible again . I 'm afraid I 'm going to have trouble with that boy , it begins to look like it . The baths at Nassau were very gay , so was Baden-Baden , where Fred lost some money , and I scolded him . He needs someone to look after him when Frank is not with him . Kate said once she hoped he 'd marry soon , and I quite agree with her that it would be well for him . Frankfurt was delightful . I saw Goethe 's house , Schiller 's statue , and Dannecker 's famous ` Ariadne . ' It was very lovely , but I should have enjoyed it more if I had known the story better . I did n't like to ask , as everyone knew it or pretended they did . I wish Jo would tell me all about it . I ought to have read more , for I find I do n't know anything , and it mortifies me .
Now comes the serious part , for it happened here , and XXXXX has just gone .
