Excerpt from Forward Letters Written on a Trip Around the World

My trunks are packed, and I shall start this evening at nine o'clock by the Vienna express. The Ballarat leaves Brindisi next Sunday, July I 7. It is exactly ten days since I made up my mind, and so far I have not wavered one moment, in spite of, or perhaps because of the manifold oppositions I encountered from all sides. I cannot describe to you the sensation my decision created in this dear old town of Cracow. At first nobody would believe me; they laughed when I spoke of my impending journey, and I could not do otherwise than laugh too: it all seemed so absurd. But when finally they saw that I meant it, oh, ye gods! What an avalanche of reproaches.
