When the Marlowes returned home, the Folk-Lore Society summoned them to answer the questions that they had entrusted to them and especially to Mr. Manton Marlowe, their president. There was a full meeting of the Society, to hear Mr. Marlowe’s report. He answered three of the questions in the manner that we have suggested in the book:— [Illustration: INDIA BUILDING.] That the most amusing thing that he saw at the Fair was the merriment of the crowds in the Street of Cairo, over the Eastern camel riders; That the most useful thing was the Philadelphia Working Man’s house; That the grandest thing was the White-Bordered Flag in the Court of Honor. The greatest lesson of the Fair? “It was this,” said Mr. Marlowe: “the agreement among the architects and artists, that each would sacrifice his own ideals and plans to the harmony of the whole. The beauty of the White City is due to that principle, and it is a lesson for all time!” Transcriber’s Notes: - Text enclosed by underscores is in italics (_italics_). - Blank pages have been removed. - Silently corrected typographical errors. - Spelling and hyphenation variations made consistent End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Zigzag Journeys in the White City, by Hezekiah Butterworth
