 Hey guys welcome back to my channel so for this video I have found the coolest vintage thing ever and I know I say this in every video but I just keep tapping myself I don't know how I do it so this is a Victorian diary this was written on October 10th today 1895 so it was in the 1800s which is crazy to me I know this is like the oldest thing I've ever seen in my life um but it was written by a very very rich woman um who traveled all over Paris and she talks about meeting the Duchess of Dino um she talks about um Marie and Twinette you know which we all love or love to hate she talks about her experiences across France on the boat it's like pretty interesting she has a pretty interesting life for the 1800s so um let's go ahead and dive into her life so here's where you can clearly see her name it says Marion M. Jones but that's the first page you can see a lot of water damage as well I don't know if the water damage is from the trip that she went on since she was on a boat or if it was from being collected years later but I found that pretty interesting so let's go ahead and open up October 10th 1895 steamer Romania Rome 92 Margaret and I sailed from New Jersey on a bright clear morning by the time Zach came to bid us goodbye we had almost all the things in her cabin arranged it was quite exciting sailing away and rather teary the people all around us weeping Zach kept calling to us why don't you go and we saw Louise giving off fish as soon as he had family stalled as soon as our steamer chairs were in place we got our rugs and rolled ourselves up in them and rather enjoyed the sail out of the bay by lunchtime we feel quite at home and enjoyed the meal pretty well and our table companions we afterwards found out were the Duchess of Dino senator and Miss Walcott from Kulo and Miss Sim and her little daughter we spent the afternoon as we had the morning dinner served quite a ceremonious affair the course is being changed to the tap of a bell and loud playing I couldn't say much for the German cooking it was rather greasy and indigestible we reclaimed on deck sometime but at last went below where I renowned with the exception of a short trip on deck Saturday and another Monday until the following Thursday Monday night was very rough and all Tuesday we tossed and tumbled I had a good chance to talk German with a steward and understand him pretty well Thursday I feel pretty good and got on deck soon after Louise was sited by three we were inside of Scherberg Kate came but on the lighter to meet us and looked very well took us to her hotel in Scherberg for dinner it seemed a rambling old house but the dinner was not so very good we got a last glimpse of the duchess here her with her pet Perel having come to meet her the Duke confided to the wall cots his detestation of the heart by seven we started for Paris in a compartment by ourselves and enjoyed it very much we noticed at Scherberg that they had pillows to rent but didn't think of getting them at the next stop they brought me foot warmers which as the night went on proved most acceptable they changed theirs two or three times during the trip at mods we bought a sandwich and two cakes and wanted more at two we reached Paris and Kate's madam fire yeah not meeting us we drove the two months and got a room for the remainder of the night the room looked gloomy enough and the electric light did not warm as much we were awakened by people in the next room and after walking about to the cafe for chocolate and rolls we paid the bill and drove to the lefond we got a room in Sudkiaeme for 11 francs a day and then went to get our trunks we passed some very inviting looking stones on the roux lafayette especially where they sold the bay roses the afternoon being fine we took a drive to the boys baroque the carriage wasn't too bad but the driver was a ragged looking old man we drove for nearly two hours seeing how the Parisians enjoy their park little boy and blue and red sweater all under the call of a teacher were playing innocent looking games like tag girls were rolling hoops we saw ever so many family groups sisters big and little dressed exactly alike cascade and racing crews returning after being cheated by the driver we walked to the trocadero and the cemetery where Marie Bashkirsev is buried sunday was another lovely day we slept late but managed to get to the 11 o'clock service at the american church mr morgan preached in the afternoon we went to Jordan de plan passing by the way the museum of the old blocks and blocks of warehouses for views with little offices for the sale of the wines i suppose the Jordan was fine with collection of plants we were uninterested in the animals i never remembered to have seen either a zebra or a llama before Tuesday morning we mounted our bus and went to Notre Dame had a splendid view of the cathedral walking all around and seeing the flying buttresses around the quaint visited the treasure and admired the embroidery especially some given by Marie Antoinette i really hope you guys enjoyed this little insight of a victorian woman's life i only read a couple about a couple entries um just because it took me like a whole day to decode just that because her handwriting was not only spelled incorrectly not only changing languages but also it was just very very scribbly and it was really hard to really make out the words but i think i did pretty good i i think that i decoded every single word pretty spot on um it wasn't that hard but it was pretty hard um but if you guys want me to read more of this diary just let me know there's a lot more entries all the way through november 8th so if you guys are interested let me know otherwise just enjoy this video um but if you guys enjoyed this video make sure you give this video a thumbs
