"The best way of travel, however, if you aren't in any hurry at all, if you don't care where you are going, if you don't like to use your legs, if you don't want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon.

On the other hand, the place has the manners, culture and general outlook of a huge country village." »Morrow Mayo
