John and Betty's History Visit

John and Betty's History Visit

Two eager young Americans sat, one on each side of the window of an English train, speeding towards London. They had landed only that morning, and everything seemed very strange to them, as they watched the pretty scenes from the car-window. The lady who had met them at the steamer, was an old friend of the family, who had often been to America, and was well known to the children, though they had never seen her son and daughter, whom they had come to visit. Mrs. Pitt soon aroused them by saying: Come, John, we are almost there, so please fetch down Bettys wraps from the rack. Here are your umbrellas; you may take Bettys bag and Ill take yours. Yes, it is really England, and soon well be in London, where Philip and Barbara are very impatiently waiting to meet the American friends with [Pg 10]whom they have been exchanging letters for so long. They have been studying history hard, and have learned all they possibly could about their own country, which they love, and want you to know, too. They have never seen very much of England, and this is an excellent chance for them to do some sight-seeing with you. I think youll have a jolly time seeing all the strange sights and customs, and visiting some historic places. Now, you must not expect to find Philip and Barbara just like your friends at home; English children dress very differently, and may use some expressions which you do not exactly understand, but youll soon become accustomed to them all. Here we are at Waterloo Station. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
