Draft:Gleissner

The Gleissners were a family of couriers—brothers, sisters, uncles and cousins—all fluent in several languages and prepared to set forth for any part of Europe at the drop of a hat. They were employed to arrange journeys around “the Continent” and accompany travelers to their destinations, often staying with them the whole time as interpreters and attending to things like hotel bills, tipping and local transportation. They were a luxury of foreign travel, but it was said they were worth it.
