Native. Why, in Piccadilly, of course; next door to St. James's Church.
Visitor. I am infinitely obliged to you; and now perhaps you will direct me to Carlton House Terrace, Kew Gardens, Greenwich, and the Docks?
Native. First, behind the Athenæum; and the others you can get to by train after consulting Bradshaw. But why this thirst for geographical knowledge?
Visitor. Because I am a member of the International Geographical Congress.
Native. Indeed! And what are you going to do at these places?
Visitor. I am going to be "entertained." In fact, my duty will be to see and be seen.
Native. And how about geographical research?
Visitor. That will be satisfied to a considerable extent by a hunt for sandwiches, and a quest for strawberries and cream!
