304 AUSTRALIA AND HOMEWARD. 



England's greatest admiral ; and here, crouching at his 

 feet, the mighty lions looking east and west and north 

 and south. How big ? Well, I should say, each about 

 forty feet in length. Out of Charing Cross we pass 

 into the Strand. Along the Strand we shall pass 

 many places of which we have read. Here is Exeter 

 Hall ; a little way back, Co vent Garden, Maiden 

 Lane, Drury Lane and its theatre. A little way back 

 still, and nearer to High Holborn, along which we 

 went in the forenoon, are Lincoln's Inn Fields. As 

 we have strayed a little from the Strand, we will come 

 back by way of Chancery Lane, passing on our way 

 the Royal Courts of Justice, Temple Bar and' St. 

 Clement's Church. We are now at the end of the 

 Strand ; here Fleet Street begins. We walk down 

 Fleet Street into Ludgate Circus,- where, turning a 

 little way down Farringdon Street, we take a look at 

 the great Memorial Hall of the Congregationalists. 

 When we return to the " Circus," we will call, for a 

 few minutes only, on old Professor L. N. Fowler, and 

 let him feel our heads and give us charts. He will 

 tell us whether we are enthusiastic sight-seers or not. 

 He will know, of course, more about us than we 

 know about ourselves, and I'll guarantee he'll " gie us 

 a (jade opinion o oursel" too. All right, it's very 

 funny, to say the least of it.
