“A Little Rented Area.”

“Most of my travelling, including my trip to Rotorua, has been done by train, and I like the train best. One is not jammed up against all and sundry in an atmosphere fetid with petrol fumes—how horrid petrol fumes are on a damp day! In the railway carriage one has a chair and a wee area to one's self—a little rented area so to speak, wherein one can exercise the privileges of a landowner. And then, if necessary, the passenger can get up and stretch his legs in what might be called the public walks of the carriage. And if so minded, you can study your fellow-man at a nice respectable distance.“—H. Rutherford, in the “N.Z. Dairy Exporter and Farm Home Journal.”
