Well, how do you get along, as a rule pretty fair?" "I've a rather large family " "There, that's it big family and trying to raise them on a salary. Now, what did you go to do that for?" "Well, I thought " "Of course you did. You were young and confident and thought you could branch out and make things go with a whirl, and here you are, you see! But never mind about that.

They had not got far from the camp when Hendricks shot an antelope, and to save the necessity of returning at once, it was hoisted up on to the branch of a tree to prevent its being eaten by the jackals and hyenas which would quickly have found it out. They went on for some distance farther, when Lionel, looking ahead, exclaimed "See, see! the grass is moving; there is some beast within."

The thorns of a straying slender branch of a rose bush caught my sleeve maliciously as I turned to hurry away, and then I caught sight of a person in the path just before me. It was such a relief to see some one, that I was not frightened when I saw that it must be Lady Ferry. She was bent, but very tall and slender, and was walking slowly with a cane.
