The castle enchanted us in all its aspects, in sun- shine or on the terrace by moonlight. But the best picture of all I saw in watching the slow dawn from the first glimmer to the full daylight. One solitary stork, perched on the topmost ruin, stood motionless, the very type of the old vanished time when romance held sway within these walls. But as the earliest rosy flush reddened the grey ruin the stork slowly spread his great wings and sailed heavily away, soon lost in the full light of the n...ew day. At Heidelberg we found our friends the Grahams making arrangements for taking possession of an old schloss near, where we found them settled on our next visit to the fascinating old town in 1867.
