'Dunno. I found it in the field between the Pavilion and the infirmary. 'Oh! well, it doesn't matter much. They're just what I wanted, which is the great thing. Thanks. Shut the door, will you? Whereupon Evans retired, the richer by many apples, and Morrison resumed his siesta at the point where he had left off.
Accompanied by Richard Evans, Edward Salcot, and other English merchants resident in the country, and with my escort and baggage, I came to the river Tenisist, within four miles of the city of Morocco, and pitched my tents among a grove of olive trees on the banks of that river, where I was met by all the English merchants by themselves, and the French, Flemish, and various other Christians, who waited my arrival.
The past generation witnessed one of the noblest of women uniting herself, for life and death, to a man whom she could not marry on account of purely legal objections. Whether Hester's position in the last act of this drama is comparable with that of Marian Evans every one must decide according to his or her conscience.
Tracy became so fruitful, that another week's time found Reuben and herself acquainted with the points of interest which Johnnie Evans had mentioned, and several more beside.

There was an earthiness in his verse, he explained to Maxwell, a material side, wholly lacking in the love of the right man for the right woman in other words, in his own love for Miss Evans. He wrote a column about this kind of love in his Mars department, and a hundred thousand men read it with gurgles of warm appreciation and quoted it at dinner the next night.
Then, if I hear anythink, I'll let you know." Theydon scribbled the number of his flat on a card. "There you are," he said. "Even if I happen to be out, I'll leave instructions that you are to be paid half a crown for your trouble if you call. By the way, what is your name?" "Evans, sir." There was really little doubt in Theydon's mind as to the reason why he had been followed.
There he was placed in the care of Howard Evans and his sister, Miss Augusta J. Evans, the gifted Southern authoress.
