About two o'clock
So , having scrambled down to Wechselburg again , they struck out on the flat , and began their walk . The whole day lay before them ; they were bound to no fixed hours ; and , throughout the morning , they made frequent halts , to gather the wild raspberries that grew by the roadside . Having passed under a great railway viaduct , which dominated the landscape , they stopped at a village inn , to rest and drink coffee . About two o'clock , they came to Rochsburg , and finally arrived , towards the middle of the afternoon , at the picturesque restaurant that bore the name , of Amerika . Here they dined . Afterwards , they returned to Rochsburg , but much less buoyantly -- for Louise was growing footsore -- paid a bridge-toll , were shown through the castle , and , at sunset , found themselves on the little railway-station , waiting for an overdue train . The restaurant in which they sat , was a kind of shed , roofed by a covering of Virginia creeper ; the station stood on an eminence ; the plains stretched before them , as far as they could see ; the evening sky was an unbroken sheet of red and gold .
