TIGER. 117 CHAPTER XVI. Farm-house on the road. — Kvass. — Religious feelings of the people. — First view of Moscow. — Comparison of Moscow and Constantinople. — Hotel d'Angleterre. — The Kremlin. — Uni- versity College. — The Head Professor. — The Bazaar. — The railway to St. Petersburg. — One train a day. — Comfortable carriages. — Leave Moscow. We left Toula at five o'clock, and nothing occurred of any note till half-past ten, when we found that the tire of one of the large wheels of the car...riage had broken ; fortunately we were in the vicinity of some farm-houses, where a light was visible, which directed us to the spot, and to our joy we were informed that there was a blacksmith's forge on the premises. This was the last time that any mishap occurred to our carriage before we reached Moscow : I mention these circumstances to convey an impression of the state of travelling in Russia, which must resemble that which existed a century ago in England, such occurrences being at the pre- sent day rarely heard of.
