There was one kind of chocolate cake which I have never seen elsewhere ; it looked like a long, hollow cigar and was filled with a delicate and deli- cious cream; the German name for these was "pisto- len. " Once when I was stealing down to the dormi- tory to fetch one or two girls to one of these midnight feasts I caught my foot in the bell rope, and set all the bells in the house going; of course, the whole household was aroused ; but when the teacher came, to find out what was the matter, we... were all in bed, as quiet as mice. We used to make long excursions in the "Saxon Switzerland, " as it is called, and on one of these, I and two other girls, a Russian and a Pole, Emma Guijitzky and Hedwige Dzjerdzjernowska, while gathering lilies of the valley, lost our way be- tween the Bastei and Kuhstall ; we were picked up after dark by some English tourists and carried back to the station, where one of the governesses had re- mained in an agony of mind about us; we were obliged to remain over-night and to take a fearful scolding 44 when we returned, for what after all was more the fault of our guardians than our own.
