Harry, who was accustomed to dine with his father, was somewhat nice in his ways of eating.

But, observing a sudden look of interest and suspicion upon the face of the sharp boy beside him at his manner of eating, he, without making so sudden a change as to be perceptible, gradually fell into the way of eating of his companion, mentally blaming himself severely for having for a moment forgotten his assumed part.
"I shall not need you this afternoon, Roger," the merchant said; "and you can go out and view the sights of the city.

Avoid getting into any quarrels or broils, and especially observe the names writ up on the corner of the houses, in order that you may learn the streets and so be able to find your way about should I send you with messages or goods." Harry spent the afternoon as directed, and was mightily amused and entertained by the sights which he witnessed.

Especially was he interested in London Bridge, which, covered closely with houses, stretched across the river, and at the great fleet of vessels which lay moored to the wharves below.

Here Harry spent the greater portion of the afternoon, watching the numerous boats as they shot the bridge, and the barges receiving merchandise from the vessels.
At five o'clock the shop was shut, and at six supper was served in the same order as dinner had been.
