Come along, boys and girls! We are off on our rambles. But please do not ask me where we are going. It would delay us very much if I should postpone our start until I had drawn you a map of the route, with all the stopping-places set down.
We have far to go, and a great many things to see, and it may be that some of you will be very tired before we get through.
If so, I shall be sorry; but it will be a comfort to think that none of us need go any farther than we choose.
