Excerpt from Penelope's Postscripts: Switzerland; Venice Wales; Devon Home
How can one sit on a Vine-embowered balcony facing lovely Lake Geneva and think about modern problems, Im proved Tenements, Child Labor, Single Tax, Sweat Shops, and the Right Training of the Rising Civilization? Blue Lake Geneva! Blue as a woman's eye, blue as the vault of heaven, dropped into the lap of the green earth like a great spar kling sapphire! Mont Blanc you know to be just behind the clouds on the other side, and that presently, after hours or days of patient waiting, he may condescend to unveil himself to your worshipful gaze.

Excerpt from Penelope's Postscripts: Switzerland; Venice Wales; Devon Home
Salemina and I were in Geneva. If you had ever traveled through Europe with a charming spinster who never sat down at a Continental table d'hote without being asked by an American vis-Orvis whether she were one of the P.'s of Salem, Massachusetts, you would understand why I call my friend Salemina. She doesn't mind it.
