The possibility of finding a bad character mark on any of their familiar
faces made him shudder, and he determined then and there never to use the
spectacles to view the face of a friend or relative Had any one, at that
moment, been gazing at Rob through the lenses of the wonderful Character
Marker, I am sure a big W would have been found upon the boy's forehead. 
When the family circle broke up, and all retired for the night, Rob kissed
his parents and sisters with real affection before going to his own
room. 
But, on reaching his cozy little chamber, instead of preparing for bed Rob
clothed himself in the Garment of Repulsion Then he covered the glittering
Garment with his best summer suit of clothes, which effectually concealed
it, He now looked around to see what else he should take, and thought of an
umbrella, a rain-coat, a book or two to read during the journey, and several
things besides; but he ended by leaving them all behind. 
I can't be loaded down with so much truck, he decided; and I'm going into
civilized countries, this time, where I can get anything I need. 
However, to prevent a recurrence of the mistake he had previously made, he
tore a map of the world and a map of Europe from his geography, and, folding
them up, placed them in his pocket. 
He also took a small compass that had once been a watch-charm, and,
finally, the contents of a small iron bank that opened with a combination
lock, This represented all his savings, amounting to two dollars and
seventeen cents in dimes, nickles and pennies. 
It isn't a fortune, he thought, as he counted it up, but I didn't need any
money the last trip, so perhaps I'll get along somehow. 
I don't like to tackle Dad for more, for he might ask questions and try to
keep me at home By the time he had finished his preparations and stowed all
his electrical belongings in his various pockets, it was nearly midnight and
the house was quiet. 
So Rob stole down stairs in his stocking feet and noiselessly opened the
back door, It was a beautiful July night and, in addition to the light of
the full moon, the sky was filled with the radiance of countless thousands
of brilliant stars. 
After Rob had put on his shoes he unfolded the map, which was plainly
visible by the starlight, and marked the direction he must take to cross the
Atlantic and reach London, his first stopping place. 
Then he consulted his compass, put the indicator of his traveling machine
to the word up, and shot swiftly into the air. 
When he had reached a sufficient height he placed the indicator to a point
north of east and, with a steady and remarkably swift flight, began his
journey, Here goes, he remarked, with a sense of exaltation, for another
week of adventure! I wonder what'll happen between now and next Saturday
10.
