Making a day's excursion from Botzen in the Tyrol, we went along the very narrowest of road's, mere alleys, to which our country lanes would be turnpike roads. Well, you may be sure that we did not engage an ordinary broad carriage, for that would have found the passage as difficult as the needle's eye to the camel; but our landlord had a very narrow chaise for us, just the very thing for threading those fourfeet passages. Now, I must make you hear the moral of it, you fretful little gentlemen. When you have a small estate, you must have small wheels, and by contentment suit your carriage to your road. 'Not so easy,' say you? 'Very necessary to A Christian,' say I.
