There is a restaurant at Mauthaiisel situated among very grand scenery. We took coffee there, as the horses had to rest. On driving back another route we had to go down K 129 Society Recollections a hill which was almost perpendicular, and for any one suffering from giddiness it is certainly quite a torture. It is marvellous how the horses can go down it at all, but the coachman leads them so slowly, and they are so accustomed to it, that they rarely if ever trip. The two young girls we went wi...th were both very charming; the eldest had received from the Shah of Persia during his last stay in Austria a most magnificent marquise ring in brilliants, in the centre of which was a large turquoise. It happened that she was one of the few ladies who could speak to him in French while he was on a visit to the Prince of Issenburg-Birstein, and before he left he made her this present. She amused me by relating how eager the Shah was to have some wild duck and wood-pigeon shooting, but as the Prince of Issenburg-Birstein had none on his property, the tame ducks and pigeons which could be obtained round about were painted for the occasion, and the Shah, quite in the dark as to what had taken place, received just as much pleasure as if it had been the real thing.
