[In the salon] was the inevitable sofa with its little table before it [and] in an alcove . . . stood a beautifully carved Brautkasten, or bridal-chest . . .

[In the dining-room, at breakfast time, baskets] piled high with brown rolls and dishes full of amber honey gave colour to the cloth-less table. The big, hand-made cups and plates, with their cheerful decoration of unknown flowers painted in vivid colours, which stood at each place, had come from Tiern Kirch [Achen Kirch]. The table looked un-English in the extreme, but very pleasant and inviting. Presently [the maid] . . . came in bearing a huge earthenware jug in which steamed delicious coffee such as one rarely gets in England. She filled the cups by the simple method of dipping a mug into the boiling liquid and pouring its contents into each cup.
