"Ye have heard," he continues, "that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you."
One Secretary of State countermands the edicts of his predecessor; and as the Executive Government of a colony is composed of the paid servants of the Crown, and is merely the machine of the Secretary for the time being, the ordinances which it promulgates are distinguished by only one uniform feature the announcement of broken promises and betrayed faith.
"Master's not at home to you to-day, he says, nor any other day till he countermands the order that was the word, sir. I'm sure I am very sorry, sir." "So am I," said Harry. "How's your mistress?" "Haven't seen her to-day, sir. Emma says she's poorly. But she is down. Emma looks as if she knew something and wouldn't tell it. I'll get it out of her though, sir.
