NORMAN FISHER-GIRL.
Soon after Frank’s note, came a note from the Wynns:—
Concord, Mass., March 22.
Dear Teacher:
Father thinks so favorably of your kind invitation that we venture to express our preference for a route of travel.
It is a very simple one. We would go from Boston to Liverpool, and walk from Liverpool to London, en zigzag.
This would take us through the heart of England, and enable us to visit such historic places as Boscobel, where Charles II. was concealed after the battle of Worcester, old Nottingham, Kenilworth, Oxford, and Godstowe Nunnery, Stratford-on-Avon, White Horse Hill, and a great number of old English villages and ruins.
Or we would go to Glasgow, thence to Edinburgh, and then make short journeys towards London, visiting Abbotsford, Melrose, and the ruins on the Border.
We are reading Walter Scott’s “Kenilworth.” The book, as you may have guessed, has caused us to set our affections strongly on the middle of England as the scene of our proposed tour.
