he man sometimes had three customers at a time. While
Rollo and Jane were looking at this man, a boy came up for a drink. The
man took one of the glasses from the little rack, and filled it by
turning one of the stopcocks. When the boy had taken his drink and paid
the money, the man wiped the glass with a towel which he kept for the
purpose; and then, putting it back in its place on the rack, he went on
tinkling his little bell.

In the mean time, the crowd of people seemed to increase, and it
appeared to Rollo and Jennie, when they came to observe particularly,
that they were nearly all walking one way, and that was up the avenue,
as if there were some place in that direction where they were all going.
Rollo supposed that, of course, it was a church. He had been told by his
father, when they were travelling in England, that when he was in any
strange place on Sunday, and wished to find the way to church, one good
method was to observe in the streets whenever he saw any considerable
number of people moving in the same direction, and to join and follow
them. He would, in such cases, his father said, be very sure to be
conducted to a church, and after going in he would generally find some

this plan. In fact, they took a particular interest and pleasure in
going to church in this way, as there was something a little of the
nature of adventure in it.

When, accordingly, the children observed that the great mass of the
people that filled the two side avenues, as well as the carriages that
were in the central one, were all moving steadily onward together,
paying little attention to the booths, and stalls, and other places and
means of amusement which were to be seen under the trees on either hand,
he concluded that, while some of the people of Paris were willing to
amuse themselves with sports and exhibitions on Sunday, the more
respectable portion would not stop to look at them, but went straight
forward to church; and he and Jennie resolved to follow their example.

"I should like to see all these things very much," said Rollo, "some
other day; but now we will go on, Jennie, to the church, where the rest
of the people are going."

Jennie very cordially approved of this plan, and so they walked on
together. It happened that, at the time when they came to this
determination, there was walking just before them a party, consisting
apparently of a father
