What guardians could be more true than their husbands with their good rifles and the skill and determination to use them? They would depend, not upon circumstances, but upon themselves. The babes would exult in the arms of their mothers from the inspiring influence of the fresh air; and at night a cradle from the hollow tree would rock them to a healthful repose.
Whatever ye do, we merit it: see, we cast Ourselves on your ruth! Do not exult in our pain. For we are children of sadness and low estate. Do with us what you will; we will not complain.
