Summary "Dagonet Abroad" by George R. Sims is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's personal observations and experiences as he travels through various cities in Europe, offering a blend of humor and insight into different cultures. The main character is the author himself, who describes his adventures and interactions in countries like France and Spain, highlighting the quirks and customs of the people he encounters. The opening of the narrative finds the author in Bordeaux, where he humorously describes the confusing nature of his hotel, which combines the names of several establishments. He observes a grand funeral procession for a humble clerk, Raoul Laval, leading him to reflect on the impact of a person's life and the respect they earn from their community. As he explores Bordeaux, he captures the city's vibrant atmosphere, the prominence of its wine trade, and the peculiarities of local customs, including his encounters with both the cold of night and the warmth of daytime sun. The chapter sets the tone for a travelogue steeped in personal anecdotes and thoughtful reflections, inviting readers to join the author on his European journey.
