But I must hope to visit Hampton Court again in the time of roses.
The Zooelogical Gardens are another pleasure of the million, since, although something is paid there, it is so little that almost all can afford it.

To me, it is a vast pleasure to see animals where they can show out their habits or instincts, and to see them assembled from, all climates and countries, amid verdure and with room enough, as they are here, is a true poem.

They have a fine lion, the first I ever saw that realized the idea we have of the king of the animal world; but the groan and roar of this one were equally royal.

The eagles were fine, but rather disgraced themselves.

It is a trait of English piety, which would, no doubt, find its defenders among ourselves, not to feed the animals on Sunday, that their keepers may have rest; at least this was the explanation given us by one of these men of the state of ravenous hunger in which we found them on the Monday.
