"No," said Pud.
"Well, that is certainly different from this part of Canada," said Bill. "You can hardly tell that you are out of the United States when you are there."
"I should think that the French talk would make it seem foreign anyway," said Pud.
"That's it," said Bob. "You don't hear any more French there than you do in Chicago, Philadelphia or any other American city. I remember that I was up there to the great Toronto Fair and I hardly knew that I was in Canada."
"This is certainly different," said Bill.
"Many people that visit only Quebec and Montreal have an entirely wrong impression of Canada. They think there are just as many French all over as they find in those cities. The fact is that outside of the province of Quebec, Canada is just as much an English-speaking country as the United States.
"Is that so?" said Pud. "Why didn't we go, then, to some place where they talk sense? I'm going to have a fine time getting along with these fellows. I can't talk French."
"Get busy and you'll learn a lot this summer," said Bob. "Mr. Waterman told me that two of the guides talk English a little, so we'll get along all right."
"I'm glad they talk English," said Bill. "All the French I know you could put in your eye tooth."
A short time later, they arrived at Levis and saw the majestic heights of Quebec opposite.
