"Not at all. I spent a week here when a boy of twelve, and saw nothing thoroughly, so I am at your disposal. Where shall we go first?"
"I should like to see Buckingham Palace, where the queen lives."
"She doesn't live there much. However, we'll go to see it, but we'll take the Parliament House and Westminster Abbey on the way."
In accordance with this programme they walked—for the distance was but short—to Westminster Abbey. It would be out of place for me to describe here that wonderful church where so much of the rank and talent of past ages lies buried. It is enough to say that Tony enjoyed it highly. He afterward visited the Parliament House. This occupied another hour. When they came out Mr. Spencer said:
"Tony, I have got to go to my banker's. Do you care to come?"
"No, thank you, Mr. Spencer, I would rather walk round by myself."
"Very well, Tony, just as you please. Only don't get lost."
"I'll take care of that; I'm used to cities."
"You are not used to London. It is one of the blindest cities in the world; it is a complete labyrinth."
"I don't mean to get lost. You'll find me at the hotel at four o'clock."
