From Calais, I suppose.
One can see the white cliffs of Albion in fine weather there.
Priscilla made no reply.
The conversation changed.
A flood of queries gathered round me.
The breakfast bell sounded, for it was still early, and we went into the breakfast room.
When he had finished his questions to me my father naturally turned his conversation to our guest.
And I noticed at once how much he was impressed with him.
On the war, he had very little to say, all questions on it appeared disagreeable.
But on every other topic, he talked well.
Still he was by no means one who wished to lay down the law or to show his talent, but
He rather excelled in question than in reply.
But his questions showed a naivety, a thoughtlessness that was striking.
He asked upon almost every topic connected with England, its history, government, politics, statistics, religion, commerce, everything.
My father was a man fond of giving his opinion on things, and
And so he was delighted with his intelligent and thoughtful guest.
Some things Priscilla seemed to have a difficulty in comprehending, especially how there could possibly exist so much misery in such a wealthy land, and how people could differ so on religious topics.
The government by parties confused him, as well as the existence of unchecked immorality in our great metropolis.
After breakfast we went out to see London, my father accompanying us.
We saw as much as we could in that day.
