Chapter VI
STILL PRANDIAL What wine shall we have? I confess I am no judge of wines, except when they are bad. To-night I feel inclined to allow my choice to be directed by sentiment; and as we are on so pretty a pilgrimage, would it not be appropriate to drink Liebfraumilch? Hock is full of fancy, and all wines are by their very nature full of reminiscence, the golden tears and red blood of summers that are gone. Forgive me, therefore, if I grow reminiscent.
