OUR BOOKING-OFFICE.
_The Diary of a Pilgrimage_ occupies 175 pages of one of ARROWSMITH's
three-and-sixpenny books, and no doubt the admirers of its author, Mr.
JEROME K. JEROME, may possibly not grudge this amount when gauging its
value by its attractive cover. It is "'ARRY Abroad," that's all. 'ARRY
Abroad laughs and talks loudly in foreign churches, sneers and jeers
at everything he does not understand--and this includes the greater
portion of all he sees and hears--chaffs puzzled officials, and
everywhere makes himself highly and exceptionally popular. In this
_Diary_ 'ARRY is occasionally rather amusing when he is endeavouring
to be either serious or sentimental, or both. 'ARRY serious or 'ARRY
sentimental, or 'ARRY sentimentally serious and expecting to be taken
at his own valuation, is of course delightful, only a little of it
goes a great way, and this Cockney pilgrim goes too far, especially
when giving us his valuable opinion on the Passion Play.
