Pretty soon , however , he had an opportunity to change to a place on the middle seat , near the window . Here he enjoyed the ride very much . He could look out and see the farms , and the farm-houses , and the people passing , as the stage drove along , and at intervals he amused himself with listening to the conversation of the people in the stage .

He knew very well that he could ask the driver what to do , but he felt an ambition to find out himself , and he accordingly concluded to wait until after he had got out of the stage , and had had an opportunity to make his own observations before troubling the driver with his questions . As for his ticket , he was aware that he must buy that at the ticket-office , and he supposed that he could find the ticket-office very readily .
