Relevance to Marie

On 9 September 1874, her second day of sightseeing in London after Ostend: «Il pleut deux ou trois fois. Nous visitons l'abbaye de Westminster et St Paul's. Depuis que je visite toutes sortes de monuments je trouve ceux-là seulement dignes d'être vus. Quelle antiquité, quelle grandeur !» (023.0614). See WESTMINSTER_ABBEY, TOWER_OF_LONDON.
