THE FOREIGN TOUR
OF
MESSRS. BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON.
THE MAIL TRAIN TO DOVER. BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON STARTING ON THEIR TRAVELS.
AFTER A ROUGH PASSAGE, BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON ARE HERE SEEN LANDED AT OSTEND, SURROUNDED, AND A LITTLE BEWILDERED, BY THE NATIVES, WHO OVERWHELM THEM WITH ATTENTIONS—SEIZE THE LUGGAGE, THRUST CARDS INTO THEIR HANDS, DRAG THEM IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS AT ONCE, ALL TALKING TOGETHER (WHICH PREVENTED THEIR DIRECTIONS BEING SO CLEAR AS THEY OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN)—AND, FINALLY, ALL EXPECTING MONEY!
THEY ARE AT THE DOUANE, WAITING FOR THE OFFICIALS TO SEARCH THE LUGGAGE.
ROBINSON AND JONES (ALARMED BY EXPRESSION OF BROWN’S COUNTENANCE). —“WHAT’S THE MATTER NOW?” BROWN (IN A VOICE OF AGONY). —“I’VE LEFT THE KEY OF MY BAG AT HOME!”
A SKETCH MADE AT MALINES.
HOW THEY SAW BELGIUM.
THE ARRIVAL AT COLOGNE.
TRAVELLERS PASSING THEIR EXAMINATION. IN THE FOREGROUND IS JONES’S PORTMANTEAU UNDERGOING THE “ORDEAL BY TOUCH.”
MANNER AND CUSTOM OF THE PEOPLE, AS SEEN FROM THE RAILWAY BY BROWN, AND MADE A NOTE OF.
B. J. AND R., WHO TOOK THEIR PLACES ON THE ROOF THE BETTER TO COMMAND THE VIEW, ARE SEEN AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE IDEA OCCURRED TO THE TWO FORMER THAT THEY MIGHT POSSIBLY NOT “FIT” UNDER THE ARCHWAY. ROBINSON IS SO WRAPPED UP IN THOUGHT, AND A CIGAR, THAT HE IS UNCONSCIOUS OF ALL ELSE.
THIS REPRESENTS THE COLOGNE OMNIBUS ON ITS JOURNEY FROM THE STATION INTO THE CITY, WHEN STOPPED BY THE MILITARY, AND MADE TO “STAND AND DELIVER” THE PASSPORTS.
ARRIVAL AT THE HOTEL, AND FIRST COMING IN SIGHT OF THAT AMIABLE AND OBLIGING RACE, THE GERMAN WAITER. HE IS SMALL IN STATURE (SCARCELY THE SIZE OF LIFE, AS JONES REMARKED), AND REMAINS ALWAYS A BOY.
“SPEISE-SAAL” HOTEL, COLOGNE—ENTER BROWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON, FATIGUED, AND SOMEWHAT DISORDERED BY TRAVEL, AND “SO HUNGRY.”
HOW AN AGENT OF JEAN MARIA FARINA ADDRESSED THEM, WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO PUT SOME OF THE CELEBRATED “EAU” UPON THEIR HANDKERCHIEFS, AND TO RECEIVE ORDERS FOR THE SAME.
THE REAL EAU DE COLOGNE, AND ITS EFFECT UPON THE NOSES OF THREE ILLUSTRIOUS INDIVIDUALS.
“KELLNER” PRESENTS THE BILL.
THEY “DO” COLOGNE CATHEDRAL.
THE RAILWAY FROM COLOGNE TO BONN. —B. J. AND R. “JUST IN TIME.”
