1 8 Fotir-in-Hand in Britain. 



then, fight against the attempted dominion of England, 

 as Scotland fought against it, and may the result be 

 the same — that Ireland shall govern herself, as Scot- 

 land does, though her own representatives duly elected 

 by the people. " To this complexion must it come at 

 last," and the sooner the better for all parties con- 

 cerned. 



We reached Liverpool Saturday morning. How 

 pleasant it is to step on shore in a strange land and be 

 greeted by kind friends on the quay ! Their welcome 

 to England counted for so much. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. had been fellow passengers. A 

 special car was waiting to take them to London, but 

 they decided not to go, and Mr. P. very kindly placed it 

 at the disposal of Mr. J. and family (who were, fortu- 

 nately for us, also fellow-passengers) and our party, so 

 that we began our travelling upon the other side under 

 unexpectedly favorable conditions. 



To such of the party as were getting their first 

 glimpse of the beautiful isle, the journey to London 

 seemed an awakening from happy dreams. They had 

 dreamed that England looked thus and thus, and now 

 their dreams had come true. The scenery of the Mid- 

 land route is very fine, much more attractive than that 

 of the other line. 



The party spent from Saturday until Thursday at 

 the Westminster Hotel, in monster London, every one 

 beincf free to do what most interested him or her.
