All but Chester had been in this gay city before.

The weather was getting quite warm, so the two brothers did not care to follow the strenuous pace set by Chester in his sight seeing.

During the heat of the day they kept quietly within their rooms or strolled leisurely along the shaded boulevards.

Chester, by promising to take the utmost care of Lucy, was permitted to take her with him to visit some of the sights.

She knew enough French to make herself fairly well understood, and that was a great help.
So these two rode and rambled about Paris for nearly a week, sometimes with the father, sometimes with Uncle Gilbert, but more often by themselves.
