No matter what the driver pointed out, there was something infinitely superior in that dear Paris. " This 'ore's reckoned o c, of tho finest sii;bt.* in Europe," said Jehu hopefully, when at last they readied Trafalgar Square,. " M-i foi, you are joking," said Alphonse, " we with can Ivat Ihis in Paris." i " Th.at's about, a score ol limes you've fold jme thai yarn, and, not wishing to upset the I relationship between France and f j ain't said noliun.ii. lUil tliere's one tiling ! you couldn't beat. PYraps you may 'aye j better fountains and a picture gallery j in Pareo ; but there's a little chap on the top lof that pedestal you coal In'f jolly well whack. and that's liiile '()rat:o Nelson, co-:ivy !" And the rest of the ride was silence.
