the carriage always leans into the curves to the point where a pendulum would be
vertical and in this way would result in a comfortable ride and less wear on the

We are enjoying the holidays
now,[4]
that is, we go on walks and laze around.
Also, it’s so terribly hot here now (up to 28° in the shade) and therefore we prefer
the latter to the former. The lake water has warmed up to 25° as
well,[5]
so that al-
most all who are not away on vacation are enjoying the lake.
My coming to Germany would almost be more impossible than your coming
here, because, in the end, I am the only one in the family who can shop for
anything.[6]
