We are going to get to London in 6 days. Very soon you are going to be leaving the ship, marching through the billowing waves, through the seaweed up the beach and shingle onto dry land. You will encounter a village, but don’t upset the villagers. You will have a third and fourth day of marching along a long road. The road will be paved and straight. On the fifth day you will get to a place at the banks of the river where you can ford it. On the last day you will then march on and finally arrive at the walls of London.
