As Gudy suggests. And nobody would use the phrase "von einem strammen Jungen leicht und glücklich entbunden worden" today. You read or hear this and imagine some prussian with a stiff white collar rightaway.

By the way: Nice find, that book. As the island of Rügen is just 150 km away and as I'm always interested in older accounts of travel along these shores I'll surely have a look at it.

Edit.:
Ha! Very nice stuff.
"A pillow, it is true, takes up a great deal of room in one's luggage, but in Rügen however simply you dress you are better dressed than the others, so that you need take hardly any clothes."
