Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Borrowed Month and Other Stories
LL persons who, like myself, are artists, and all others who delight in the beauties of lake and valley, the grandeur of snowy mountain peaks, and the invigoration of pure mountain air, can imagine the joy with which I found myself in Switzerland on a Sketching tour. It had not been easy for me to make this, my first visit to 'europe. Circumstances, which the very Slightly opened purses of my patrons had not enabled me to control, had deferred it for several years. And even now my stay was strictly limited, and I must return by a steamer which sailed for America early in the autumn. But I had already travelled a good deal on the Continent; had seen Italy; and now had Six summer weeks to give to Switzerland. Six months would have suited me much better, but youth and enthusiasm can do a great deal of sketching and nature-revelling in Six weeks.
