In this part of the story, George decided to relax and so he invited Jack and Nelly to spend the afternoon at the Albert Palace. They had a good time together, they eventually met Mr. Arthur Grant at the time. According to the first footnote of chapter three, "The Albert Palace opened in Battersea Park to the public in 1885. It was built of glass in the style of the Crystal Palace and was the site of exhibitions, theatrical and dance performances, gardens, and various other entertainments" (pg. 57). Indeed it's these reasons why this was a perfect place to relax.
