* * * * * As Mr. George stepped out upon the platform at the London Bridge station his first thought was to find Rollo, who had chosen to come in a second-class car, partly for the purpose of saving the difference in the fare, and partly, as he said, "for the fun of it." Rollo had a regular allowance from his father for his travelling expenses, sufficient to pay his way in the first-class conveyances; and the understanding was, that whatever he should save from this sum by travelling in the cheaper modes was to be his own for pocket money or to add to his reserved funds. Mr. George and Rollo soon found each other on the platform. "Well, Rollo," said Mr. George, "and how do you like travelling cheap?" "Pretty well," said Rollo; "only I could not see out much; but then I have saved six shillings in coming from Dover. That is the same as twelve New York shillings--a dollar and a half. I can buy several pretty things with that to carry home." "That's very true," said Mr. George. "Some time I mean to go in the fourth-class car," said Rollo. "'Tis true we have to stand up all the time like sheep in a pen; but I shall not care for that." "Well, you can try it," said Mr. George; "but now for our luggage." The English people always call the effects which a traveller takes with him on the journey his luggage. Very soon a porter took Mr. George's trunk from the top of the car. "Will you have a cab, sir?" said the porter, touching his cap to Mr. George. "I want to leave my trunk here for a short time under your charge," said Mr. George. "That is a little out of the line of your duty, I know; but I will remember that when I come for it." "All right, sir," said the porter, promptly, touching his cap again. He took up the trunk and threw it on his shoulder; and then, followed by Mr. George and Rollo, he walked away to the luggage room. After it had been properly deposited in its place, Mr. George and Rollo went out of the station into the street. "Are not you going to ride?" said Rollo to Mr. George. "No," said Mr. George; "I am going to walk." "What's that for?" said Rollo. "There are two reasons," said Mr. George; "one is, I want to show you London Bridge." "Well," said Rollo; "and what is the other reason?" "The other is," said Mr. George, "that I do not wish to have the trouble of the luggage while I am looking out lodgings. If I go to a hotel and leave my luggage there and take a room, and then go and look up lodgings, we have the hotel bill to pay, without getting much benefit from it; and, if we take the luggage on a cab, we might go to a dozen different places before we find a room to suit us, and so have a monstrous great cab fare to pay." "Yes," said Rollo; "I understand. Besides, I should like to walk through the streets and see the city."
