Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices: No Thoroughfare; The Perils of Certain English Prisoners
The two idle apprentices found themselves, within a few hours of their escape, walking down into the North of England, that is to say, Thomas was lying in a meadow, looking at the railway trains as they passed over a distant viaduct - which was his idea of walking down into the North; while Francis was walking a mile due South against time - which was his idea of walking down into the North. In the meantime the day waned, and the milestones remained unconquered.
