Mr. Ade’s “pastures new” are chiefly in London and Egypt. He characterizes humorously without his usual slang. “The foibles and follies of tourists, the humbug and charlatanry of those who live off them, the fact that foreign travel has its tiresome side as well as its joys—all these and other phases of ‘being abroad’ are dealt with in an amusing way.” (Outlook.)
