ABSTRACT
Perpignan Monday 14 & Tuesday 15 December Luxuriated in the comforts of a French inn. I felt almost ready to hug the furniture, & shake hands with the waiters, so attractive did they all look after my Spanish discomfort! Sat in doors & wrote letters. […] Walked once only into the town an irregular confined & ugly fortified place. The only annoyance I experienced was from the military music & the parading & drilling of the troops. France looks more like a nation under arms than Spain. Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, every where!
