Maggie down when she was just going along on thesidewalk. Oh, you never saw such strange thingsand such odd looking houses as there are on thatstreet. They run long poles out from the upper win-dows and hang all their clothes on them to dry. Jessiepointed out one very old house, and said a ministerused to live there who talked a great deal to QueenMary about being so wicked as to be a E-oman Catho-lic, and she was afraid of him. She said his name wasJohn Knox. We are going away from Edinburgh before long,Susie. I am so sorry !. 28 HELEN ON HEK TRAVELS. Eighth Letter. Cousin Susie: I am not waiting this letter in Maggies house, becausepapa said we had made such a long visit that we mustgo away and find some pleasant rooms, and live aspeople do when they come to Edinburgh and have ntany friends to visit.
