I intend to become acquainted with my native land, closely acquainted. State by State I shall wander over it, refreshing soul and body and using muscles too long unused." "Tish!" Aggie quavered. "You are not going on another walking-tour?" Only a year or two before Tish had read Stevenson's "Travels with a Donkey," and had been possessed to follow his example.
He wrote formally; it had occurred to him that he might be of some slight service, in view of her approaching holiday, if he looked through the guide-books, and jotted down the outline of such a walking-tour as she had in mind. This he had done, and the results were written out on an enclosed sheet of paper. Rhoda allowed a day to intervene, then sent a reply. She thanked Mr.
Dumoise was very thankful for the suggestion he was thankful for anything in those days and went to Chini on a walking-tour. Chini is some twenty marches from Simla, in the heart of the Hills, and the scenery is good if you are in trouble.
Of these she records an instance in her pleasant Promenades autour d'un village, a lively sketch of a few days' walking-tour on the banks of the Creuse, undertaken by herself and some naturalist friends in June, 1857.
Ingram, if you had less time than we if you could not start with us to-morrow you might come straight down by Schaffhausen and the steamer, and catch us up there, and then mamma would become your guide. I am sure we should have some pleasant days together till you got tired of us, and then you could go off on a walking-tour if you pleased.

My gorge rose against it. I could not go on as I had begun. Why punish myself by a diet of salt when the savour had gone? "Joseph," I said at last, "the disappearance of the young Monsieur has been a blow to me, I admit. It has destroyed my appetite for sightseeing, for the moment, at all events. I can't rearrange my plans instantly; but this I have determined. I'll end my walking-tour here.
She stood there a minute, pinning closer the crushed bosses of her hair. Then she turned. "What are you going to do with that walking-tour johnnie?" "John Conway? You couldn't do anything with him if you tried. He's miles beyond all that." "All what?" "The rotten things people do. The rotten things they think. You're safe with him, Gwinnie. Safe. Safe. You've only to look at him."
"I beg your pardon, sir? "This is Mr. Frank Guiseley of Merefield.... It is, really! But we don't want more people talking than are necessary. You understand? Please don't say anything about it, except that he's come on a walking-tour. And please tell the housekeeper to get the Blue Room ready, and let somebody turn on the hot water in the bath-room until further notice.
