The Cheapest Route.

In his younger days Henry Labouchere, when attached to the British Embassy at Rome, received instructions to make inquiries about Florence or some distant place. He wrote for expenses, but they were not allowed. However, Mr. Labouchere started. Nothing was heard of him for weeks. Eventually, in reply to many dispatches sent out to ask how he was getting on, a letter arrived; “As expenses are not allowed, Mr. Labouchere is obliged to walk. He expects to reach his destination by the end of the year. ”
