And, to his disgust, Sunny was forced to an unwilling ablution, which, by strategy, he had hoped to escape. However, the ordeal was manfully borne, and his reward was quite worth his trouble. Vada promptly exclaimed when she saw his face emerge from the dirty towel, shining with grease off the house-flannel. "You'se a fairy, sure," she cried, clapping her hands and dancing about gleefully.
I was apprehensive the rope might break, and then there would have been every chance of going down to the regions under water with the cayman. That would have been more perilous than Arion's marine morning ride: Delphini insidens vada caerula sulcat Arion. The people now dragged us above forty yards on the sand: it was the first and last time I was ever on a cayman's back.
"Has you all seen anything of a low down black pickaninny which is los'?" This remark came from 'Vada. "Which is stole," corrected a mountain of flesh, quivering with wrath. "Is it Samuel Saul?" asked Ethelwyn. "It is so; will you projus him?" asked the mountain. "He's in the attic asleep; his sister sold him to us for a present to Bobby and Nan "
Theories on these and other points are commonly called vâda or talk, and those who hold them vâdins. Thus there is the Kâla-vâda which makes Time the origin and principle of the universe, and the Svabhâva-vada which teaches that things come into being of their own accord.
At last the meal was ready. There was nearly everything of which the household consisted upon the table or in close proximity to it. Then, when at last they sat down, and Scipio glanced over the strange conglomeration, his conscience was smitten. "Seems to me you kiddies need bread and milk," he said ruefully.

I read 'Henricus de Letaba transeunda apud Duprei vada jam nos certiores fecit. I had guessed rightly. Henriques was a traitor to the cause he had espoused. Arcoll's message had given me new heart, but Wardlaw's gave me information of tremendous value. I repented that I had ever underrated the schoolmaster's sense.

We nooned at Rosellae, thirty- three miles on, and slept at Vada, the port of Volaterrae, fifty-six miles further, a day of eighty miles. Next day we were, if anything, yet sorer and stiffer, certainly we were less frightened. So we took it easier, nooning at Pisa, thirty miles on, and sleeping at Luna, thirty-five further, a day of only sixty-five miles, rather too little for Imperial couriers.
They had no one to look to, no one to care for them now, but him. He sprang to his feet. "Why, yes, kiddies," he said, with a painful assumption of lightness. "You're needing food sure.
