註釋Punch or the London Charivari, Vol. 93, September 3, 1887 F. C. (Francis Cowley) Burnand SOME NOTES AT STARMOUTH. 3 p.m.-Arrive at Starmouth-the retired Watering-place at which I propose to write the Nautical Drama that is to render me famous and wealthy. Leave luggage at Station, and go in search of lodgings. Hotel out of the question-table d'hôte quite fatal to inspiration. On the Esplanade, noting likely places with critical eye. Perhaps I am a little fastidious. What I should really like is a little cottage; two bow-windows, clematis on porch, flagstaff, and cannon (if it wouldn't go off) in front. I could achieve immortality in a place like that. Sea-view, of course, indispensable. Must be within sight of the ever-changing ocean, within hearing of "the innumerable laughter of the waves"-I know what the phrase means, though I shouldn't like to have to explain it, and the waves just now are absolutely roaring. Down by the Sea. 3-15.-Still noting; plenty of time, and Starmouth "all before me where to choose." More than a mile of Esplanade, and several brass plates and cards advertising "Apartments." Must be cautious-not throw the handkerchief in a hurry. Haven't seen the ideal place yet. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
