Altona, which is but a suburb of Hamburg, is the terminus of the Kiel / railway, which was to carry us to the Belts. In twenty minutes we / were in Holstein.
At half-past six the carriage stopped at the station; my uncle's / numerous packages, his voluminous _impedimenta,_ were unloaded, / removed, labelled, weighed, put into the luggage vans, and at seven / we were seated face to face in our compartment. The whistle sounded, / the engine started, we were off.
