"There is Cromer in Norfolk,—perhaps ten hours."
"Is Cromer by the sea?"
"Yes;—what we call the sea."
"I mean really the sea, Paul?"
"If you start from Cromer right away, a hundred miles would perhaps take you across to Holland. A ditch of that kind wouldn't do perhaps."
"Ah,—now I see you are laughing at me. Is Cromer pretty?"
"Well, yes;—I think it is. I was there once, but I don't remember much. There's Ramsgate."
"Mrs. Pipkin told me of Ramsgate. I don't think I should like Ramsgate."
"There's the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is very pretty."
"That's the Queen's place. There would not be room for her and me too."
