Excerpt from People and Places Here and There, Vol. 1

If you and I were really traveling by rail and by steam, we should need, unless we were millionaires, to be a little more direct in our routes. But as it is, it doesn't much matter, and so we may as well zig-zag down to that great island of Australia, thence to the Fijis, thence to the Sandwich Isles, taking in on our way a ¿ying visit to New Zealand.
