Rollo in Switzerland

Rollo in Switzerland is by Jacob Abbott and belongs to a list of volumes headed Rollo's Tour in Europe. The list of principal persons names Rollo, who is twelve years of age, Mr. and Mrs. Holiday as Rollo's father and mother travelling in Europe, and Mr. George as a young gentleman and Rollo's uncle.

Rollo goes into the room where the master of the hotel sits, holds out his passports, and asks in French, Passports. To Switzerland. Where to go to get them stamped? The master of the hotel takes the passports in his hand and says that you must go to the Swiss legation and to the prefecture of police. Rollo and his uncle are going to make an excursion up the valley of the Lütschine to Lauterbrunnen, and thence to ascend the Wengern Alp, in order to see the avalanches of the Jungfrau. One chalet has a row of cows with little calves by them in stalls on one side, and on the other side tables and benches with pans of milk and tubs upon them.
