[With Wolfe in Canada by G. A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookWith Wolfe in Canada CHAPTER 1: A Rescue 21/30
Those who haven't must try and get their father or mother to give them one, and see the show later on. Girls first.
Boys should always give way to their sisters.
The bravest men are always the most courteous and gentle with women." Four girls, of various ages, paid their pennies and took their places at the glasses, and the sergeant then began to describe the pictures, his descriptions of the wonders within being so exciting, that several boys and girls stole off from the little crowd, and made their way to their homes to coax their parents out of the necessary coin. James Walsham listened a while, and then walked away to the sea, for there would be several sets of girls before it came to the turn of the boys.
He strolled along, and as he came within sight of the beach stopped for a moment suddenly, and then, with a shout, ran forward at the top of his speed. The little girl, after playing some time with the seaweed, had climbed into a small boat which lay at the edge of the advancing tide, and, leaning over the stern, watched the little waves as they ran up one after another.
A few minutes after she had got into it, the rising tide floated the boat, and it drifted out a few yards, as far as its headrope allowed it.
