Synopsis

Gentlemen and ladies at the hotels, in London, generally dine about six or seven o'clock, each party or family by them-selves, in their own private parlor. One evening, about eight o'clock, just after the waiter had removed the cloth from the table where Rollo's father and mother, with Rollo himself and his cousin Jennie, had been dining, and left the table clear, Mr. Holiday rose, and walked slowly and feebly-for he was quite out of health, though much better than he had been-towards a secretary which stood at the side of the room.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Gentlemen and ladies at the hotels, in London, generally dine about six or seven oclock, each party or family by themselves, in their own private parlor. One evening, about eight oclock, just after the waiter had removed the cloth from the table where Rollo sfather and mother, with Rollo himself and his cousin, Jennie, had been dining, and left the table clear, Mr. Holiday rose, and walked slowly and feebly for he was quite out of health, though much better than he had been toward a secretary which stood at the side of the room. Now, said he, we will get out the map and the railway guide, and see about the ways of getting to France. Rollo and Jennie were at this time at the window, looking at the vehicles which were passing by along the Strand. The Strand is a street in London, and one of the most lively and crowded of them all.
