For those who visit the Forbidden City it seems almost unbelievable that something so enormous could remain hidden for five centuries. The complex is now making up for lost time, and the secret world of emperors, harems and eunuchs is visited by some 40,000 visitors a day. Nonetheless, the grandeur of the Forbidden City remains; since 1987 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is maintained accordingly. There’s always some part that is undergoing renovations or construction. Taking in all the riches of the halls, galleries, squares and palaces will take at least a day. Even for a general impression we recommend at least several hours for your visit. Your patience and stamina will be rewarded. If the names are anything to go by, the pleasure is never-ending: after the entrance you’ll encounter the Hall of Supreme Harmony, then the Gate of Heavenly Purity, the Palace of Earthly Tranquillity, the Hall of Union, and much more besides. Those who brave the entire extent of the city will also see the Imperial Garden which gives access to even more palaces on both sides. This part of the Forbidden City, often overlooked, is a great place for meandering through a maze of galleries, gates and courtyards.

Injuriez tant qu’il vous plaira et accablez de reproches l’absolutisme de Pêtersbourg et la triste persêvêrance de notre rêsignation; mais injuriez le despotisme partout et reconnaissez-le sous quelque forme qu’il se prêsente. L’illusion optique, au moyen de laquelle on donnait à l’esclavage l’aspect de la libertê s’est êvanouie. Encore une fois: s’il est horrible de vivre en Russie, il est tout aussi horrible de vivre en Europe. Pourquoi ai-je donc quittê la Russie? Ne vous y trompez pas! Je n’ai trouvê ici ni joie, ni distractions, ni repos, ni sêcuritê personnelle; je ne puis même imaginer que personne aujourd’hui puisse trouver en Europe ni repos ni joie. Je ne crois ici à rien qu’au mouvement; je ne plains rien que les victimes; je n’aime rien que ce que l’on persêcute; et je n’estime rien que ce que l’on supplicie, et cependant je reste. Je reste pour souffrir doublement de notre douleur et de celle que je trouve ici, peut-être pour succomber dans la dissolution gênêrale.

There would be correspondence and discussion, and then her uncle would come back, and there would be more discussion, and she could not see Owen. If she wrote to him and he came, he would not be admitted to the house; and she could not go to him. Well, then, she, would run away. There was nothing for it but to run away to Granny, and she made up her mind to do so. Nothing should prevent her. Nothing! She started up and took her purse out of a drawer. She was but slenderly provided with pocket-money, the bulk of her allowance from Mrs. Dobbs being administered by Aunt Pauline. She counted out the contents of the little smart porte-monnaie with deep anxiety. There was half a sovereign and some silver. Only fifteen shillings! That would not suffice to carry her to Oldchester—and then she must have a cab. She could not find her way to the station on foot: and, besides, it would take such a long time!
