The
houses
warm
and
comfortable,
sheltered
with
trees,
and
neatly
painted.
Blankenese,
a
village
or
town
scattered
over
the
sides
of
three
hills,
woody
where
the
houses
lie
and
sleep
down
below,
the
houses
half-concealed
by,
and
half-obtruding
themselves
from,
the
low
trees.
Naked
boats
with
masts
lying
at
the
bare
feet
of
the
Blankenese
hills.
Houses
more
and
more
frequent
as
we
approach
Hamburgh.
The
banks
of
the
Elbe
more
steep.
Some
gentlemen's
seats
after
the
English
fashion.
The
spires
of
Altona
and
Hamburgh
visible
a
considerable
time.
At
Altona
we
took
a
boat,
and
rowed
through
the
narrow
passages
of
the
Elbe,
crowded
with
vessels
of
all
nations.
Landed
at
the
Boom
House,
where
we
were
received
by
porters,
ready
to
carry
our
luggage
to
any
part
of
the
town.
William
went
to
seek
lodgings,
and
the
rest
of
the
party
guarded
the
luggage.
Two
boats
were
about
to
depart.
An
elegant
English
carriage
was
placed
in
one,
and
presently
a
very
pretty
woman,
conducted
by
a
gentleman,
seated
herself
in
it,
and
they
rowed
off.
The
other
contained
a
medley
crew
of
all
ages.
There
was
an
old
woman,
with
a
blue
cap
trimmed
with
broad
silver
lace,
and
tied
under
her
chin.
She
had
a
short
coloured
cloak,
etc.
While
we
stood
in
the
street,
which
was
open
on
one
side
to
the
Elbe,
I
was
much
amused
by
the
various
employments
and
dresses
of
the
people
who
passed
before
us....
