During all this spring Reeve had suffered a great deal from gout, so, bythe advice of Sir Henry Holland, who spoke strongly of the necessity ofchange of air and of rest from all work and effort, he and his wife startedfor the Continent on July 24th. Passing through Paris, and staying a fewdays at Fontainebleau, they went on to Clermont-Ferrand in Auvergne, andto Royat, then newly come into vogue as a health resort. After about threeweeks of the baths and the mountain air, Reeve was so far recov...ered as tobe able to walk a little; and on August 18th they passed on to Geneva, where they were joined by their friends the Watneys, with whom they wenton to Evian, and thence by the Valais to the Bel Alp, an hotel 7, 000 feetabove the sea-level, commanding magnificent views. 'Christine, ' wrote Reevein his Journal, 'went up the Sparrenhorn with Binet, ' whilst, accordingto Mrs. Reeve, 'Henry and Mrs. Watney, not being moveable bodies, sat atwindows and pooh-poohed the energetic use of legs. ' From the Bel Alp, Reeve, still very much of a cripple, 'was carried'--the expression is hisown--to Brieg.
