Switzerland -- Description and travel -- Juvenile literature
Rollo found the cost, too, of travelling in Switzerland much less than
he had expected. He did not expend nearly all the allowance which his
father had granted him. When he came to settle up his accounts, after he
had got back to Paris, he found that he had saved about seventy-five
francs, which made nearly fifteen dollars; and this sum he accordingly
added to his _capital_--for that was the name by which he was accustomed
to designate the stock of funds which he had gradually accumulated and
reserved.
Just before Mr. George and Rollo left Switzerland, on their return to
Paris, they received a letter from Mr. Holiday, who was still in Paris,
in consequence of which they concluded to make a short tour on the Rhine
on their way to France. The adventures which they met with on this tour
will form the subject of another volume of this series.
