There wasn't anyone else.
In our common, everyday talk we are accustomed to say that the darkest hour of night precedes the dawn of day. It was so in this instance. For long the negroes of the plantations not only grew up quite illiterate it was a punishable offence for them to make any endeavour to learn to read, or for anyone to attempt to teach them.
"I never saw anyone in such a hurry," said Jim. "Why, the poor beggar hasn't had his tea yet give him time." "But we are in a hurry," said Tommy. "We're burning to learn all about it. Norah is to teach me the house side, while you instruct Bob how to tell a merino bullock is it not? from an Ayrshire." Everybody ate with suspicious haste, and she looked at them shrewdly.

The law of Nareda your Highland law, too, father says will not let a girl be married until she is that age. In a month I am seventeen." "Oh!" And I stammered, "But why are you going to marry?"
