P. 271. Her distance from us is 240,000 miles; and our Essayist, by
the way, tells us (chap. x. §7) that “a railroad-carriage, at its
ordinary rate of travelling, would reach her in _a month_.” We should
not like to travel by the Lunar Express, but should prefer the
parliamentary train, and hope, starting from the Hanwell station, to
get to the terminus in a couple of years or so. Good Bishop Wilkins
intended to be taken up by birds of flight trained for the purpose.

the way, he answered, “Your Grace is the last person to ask me the
question, having built so many _castles in the air_!”
