At the next station I didn't get orf so easy. I was dragged out of the cars and rolled in the mud for several minits, for the purpose of "takin the conseet out of me," as a Secesher kindly stated.
Billie surprised the little Japanese girl sitting up examining her arm, which was wrapped in bandages. "Why, Onoye, I didn't know you had been injured," she exclaimed, running over and kneeling beside the sick girl. Onoye was speechless.

"Top muchly more easy than bottom," he said smiling. "Empty house but all same muchly inside." Billie glanced hastily at the scraps of paper and saw her own name in one corner. "Why, it's to me," she exclaimed, and sitting on the bench, she began to decipher the pieced letter. "Dear Billie: "Since you all hate and disapprove of me, I do not wish to stay with you any longer.

"I'm glad," he said with his back towards her, once again on his guard.
It was poison to his spirit to question so honorable, august, and altogether wise a person, but I was suspected of a grave offense, and I must answer his questions. Where was my home? Easy. How did I live? Easier. Who was my grandfather? Fortunately I remembered. Was I married? Muchly. Where was my master? Did not have any. My husband was in China. Was I in Japan by his permission? I was.
I had heard you speak of him as one of the gentlemen you met at the minister's, and he seemed muchly interested in you.
