It is the misfortune, not the fault, of the subordinate churches of a cathedral city that they arouse but a languid interest in the already surfeited sight-seer. Wells has one other church which merits more than a passing attention. St Cuthbert's is a Perp. building of generous dimensions.
Geoffrey Barrington started to laugh at his own discomfiture. "Reggie, you were always a devil for arguing!" he said. "At home one would never talk about things like that." "There must be a slight difference then between Home and Abroad. Certain bonds are relaxed. Abroad, one is a sight-seer.
I look back upon my stay in Benares with the greatest pleasure, and shall long remember the kindness I there experienced. There is much to be seen in the Holy City, and the means of locomotion which I should recommend the sight-seer to adopt are Tom Johns, or chairs swung upon poles, with or without hoods, as the case may be.
Crittenden could see attaché, correspondent, aid, staff-officer, non-combatant, sight-seer crowding close about the guns so close that the gunners could hardly work. He could almost hear them saying, one to another: "Why, is this war really war? Why, this isn't so bad."
He opens the door of the school-room; there are its two benches, and its humble official desk, as of old; he looks into the little parlour, and smiles to think of the respect he felt in his childish days for Miss Patsey's drawing-room: many a gilded gallery, many a brilliant saloon has he since entered as a sight-seer, with a more careless step.
Lo! in man's divine creative power is fulfilled the prophecy, 'Ye shall be as Gods!"

Few of the great masterpieces of art gave her real enjoyment.
But the negro problem certainly demands more study than a sight-seer could give it; and this book is controversial enough about things that I have really considered, without permitting it to exhibit me as a sight-seer who shoots at sight.
To step on board a steamer in a Spanish port, and three hours later to land in a country without a guide-book, is a sensation to rouse the hunger of the repletest sight-seer. The sensation is attainable by any one who will take the trouble to row out into the harbour of Algeciras and scramble onto a little black boat headed across the straits.
Iris, spurred on by no stronger impulse than that of the sight-seer, though not wholly unaware of an element of adventurous shyness in her expectation of a tête-
And here, for once, in Massachusetts, a public institution has escaped the tyranny of bricks and mortar; and we are permitted to indulge the hope, that any future additions will tend to make this spot a neighborhood of unostentatious cottages, quiet rural homes, rather than the seat of a vast edifice, which may provoke the wonder of the sight-seer, inflame local or state pride, but can never be an effectual, economical agency in the work of reformation.
