MEG was getting weary with her long tramp to London. Her first day / had been her best. She had not met with such kindness or good fortune / again, and as she made her way through towns and villages, only / gathering just enough pennies by her singing, to provide her with a / night's lodging and food, she began to wonder if she would ever reach / London and stroke the paws of lions.
She had to walk for miles along country roads which, as far as earning / money was concerned, was mere waste of time. And when she arrived at a / town or village, so anxious was she to get to the end of her journey, / that she stayed as short a time as possible and only waited to earn / enough for the day.
