Then, just as suddenly all desire to laugh expired. Why? Why was she looking forward to dining with Bull Sternford? Bull! What a quaint name. She had thought of it before.

I'm jest perfectly all right, 'Meelia Ellen, only I went pretty hard durin' 'Sembly week, and when John was here, an' I'm restin' up fer a while. If I want John sent fer I'll tell you, but don't you go to doin' it 'fore! An' I really b'leeve she'd be mad at me if I did.
"Yes, they are living, and well taken care of," said the missionary; "come, and I will lead you to them."

We went to bed very hungry, but very tired, and in the morning, before breakfast, hunted out the house of an English missionary, who took pity on us and gave us to eat.
Our travellers, accompanied by the missionary, advanced unto the circle, and saluted his majesty. Mr S then explained the object of their journey, and their wish that a small party of the king's warriors should accompany them on their expedition.
We will make them understand that we remain for the sake of the poor lady and gentleman who have left their home in England to try and benefit the ignorant savages, and that while they are in danger we should be cowards to desert them." The men acknowledged, when Tom spoke to them, that he was right, and promised to remain contentedly to assist the missionary and his wife.
