Could　we　go　wherever　we　wanted？　Yes。　Where　did　we　want　to　go？

〃Where　do　you　want　to　go；　Cat？〃

〃Montreux。〃

〃It　is　a　very　nice　place；〃　the　official　said。　〃I　think　you　will　like　that　place。〃

〃Here　at　Locarno　is　a　very　nice　place；〃　another　official　said。　〃I　am　sure　you　would　like　it　here　very　much　at　Locarno。　Locarno　is　a　very　attractive　place。〃

〃We　would　like　some　place　where　there　is　winter　sport。〃

〃There　is　no　winter　sport　at　Montreux。〃

〃I　beg　your　pardon；〃　the　other　official　said。　〃I　e　from　Montreux。　There　is　very　certainly　winter　sport　on　the　Montreux　Oberland　Bernois　railway。　It　would　be　false　for　you　to　deny

that。〃

〃I　do　not　deny　it。　I　simply　said　there　is　no　winter　sport　at　Montreux。〃

〃I　question　that；〃　the　other　official　said。　〃I　question　that　statement。〃

〃I　hold　to　that　statement。〃

〃I　question　that　statement。　I　myself　have　_luge…ed_　into　the　streets　of　Montreux。　I　have　done　it　not　once　but　several　times。　Luge…ing　is　certainly　winter　sport。〃

The　other　official　turned　to　me。

〃Is　luge…ing　your　idea　of　winter　sport；　sir？　I　tell　you　you　would　be　very　fortable　here　in　Locarno。　You　would　find　the　climate　healthy；　you　would　find　the　environs　attractive。　You　would　like　it　very　much。〃

〃The　gentleman　has　expressed　a　wish　to　go　to　Montreux。〃

〃What　is　luge…ing？〃　I　asked。

〃You　see　he　has　never　even　heard　of　luge…ing！〃

That　meant　a　great　deal　to　the　second　official。　He　was　pleased　by　that。

〃Luge…ing；〃　said　the　first　official；　〃is　tobogganing。〃

〃I　beg　to　differ；〃　the　other　official　shook　his　head。　〃I　must　differ　again。　The　toboggan　is　very　different　from　the　luge。　The　toboggan　is　constructed　in　Canada　of　flat　laths。　The　luge　is　a　mon　sled　with　runners。　Accuracy　means　something。〃

〃Couldnt　we　toboggan？〃　I　asked。

〃Of　course　you　could　toboggan；〃　the　first　official　said。　〃You　could　toboggan　very　well。　Excellent　Canadian　toboggans　are　sold　in　Montreux。　Ochs　Brothers　sell　toboggans。　They　import　their　own　toboggans。〃

The　second　official　turned　away。　〃Tobogganing；〃　he　said；　〃requires　a　special　piste。　You　could　not　toboggan　into　the　streets　of　Montreux。　Where　are　you　stopping　here？〃

〃We　dont　know；〃　I　said。　〃We　just　drove　in　from　Brissago。　The　carriage　is　outside。〃

〃You　make　no　mistake　in　going　to　Montreux；〃　the　first　official　said。　〃You　will　find　the　climate　delightful　and　beautiful。　You　will　have　no　distance　to　go　for　winter　sport。〃

〃If　you　really　want　winter　sport；〃　the　second　official　said；　〃you　will　go　to　the　Engadine　or　to　M黵ren。　I　must　protest　against　your　being　advised　to　go　to　Montreux　for　the　winter　sport。〃

〃At　Les　Avants　above　Montreux　there　is　excellent　winter　sport　of　every　sort。〃　The　champion　of　Montreux　glared　at　his　colleague。

〃Gentlemen；〃　I　said；　〃I　am　afraid　we　must　go。　My　cousin　is　very　tired。　We　will　go　tentatively　to　Montreux。〃

〃I　congratulate　you；〃　the　first　official　shook　my　hand。

〃I　believe　that　you　will　regret　leaving　Locarno；〃　the　second　official　said。　〃At　any　rate　you　will　report　to　the　police　at　Montreux。〃

〃There　will　be　no　unpleasantness　with　the　police；〃　the　first　official　assured　me。　〃You　will　find　all　the　inhabitants　extremely　courteous　and　friendly。〃

〃Thank　you　both　very　much；〃　I　said。　〃We　appreciate　your　advice　very　much。〃

〃Good…by；〃　Catherine　said。　〃Thank　you　both　very　much。〃

They　bowed　us　to　the　dooi　the　champion　of　Locarno　a　little　coldly。　We　went　down　the　steps　and　into　the　carriage。
