The novella begins (quote p. 13, viewed at HathiTrust): The Wonderful History of Peter Schlemihl. Chapter I. After a fortunate, but for me very troublesome voyage, we finally reached the port. The instant that I touched land in the boat, I loaded myself with my few effects, and passing through the swarming people, I entered the first, and least house, before which I saw a sign hang. I requested a room; the boots measured me with a look, and conducted me to the garret.
