[The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit]@TWC D-Link bookThe Story of the Treasure Seekers CHAPTER 9 9/24
And Dora is right sometimes, though she is our elder sister.
Then we thought we'd better wear our best things, so that the G.B.might see we weren't so very poor that he couldn't trust us to pay his money back when we had it.
But Dora said that would be wrong too.
So it came to our being quite honest, as Dora said, and going just as we were, without even washing our faces and hands; but when I looked at H.O.in the train I wished we had not been quite so particularly honest. Every one who reads this knows what it is like to go in the train, so I shall not tell about it--though it was rather fun, especially the part where the guard came for the tickets at Waterloo, and H.O.was under the seat and pretended to be a dog without a ticket.
We went to Charing Cross, and we just went round to Whitehall to see the soldiers and then by St James's for the same reason--and when we'd looked in the shops a bit we got to Brook Street, Bond Street.
