Henry sat on the hole's edge for a full minute, dangling his legs. It was a tunnel he was in; a passage about six feet high and four feet wide.
He was setting up close to the wall now, looking through. He went on talking: "If I put the bricks in again on my side, and you on yours, who'll know the hole's there?" "We've got ivy on our side," says I. "It's green and 'most to the top of the wall. But I don't know now why you broke that hole through."
I replied that, if this was so, it was very hard that the large majority of Indians should be left out in the cold. He agreed, and said that this undoubtedly was one of the weak points in their religion. Hindus and Roman Catholicism. Parsees and Christianity. Their works of charity. Persian visitors.

"You may have dreamed it, in your 'fainting' attack. But if it is true, the metal rod and the hole in the wall will show it." Eliza looked a little bit sheepish.

'I hope this isn't the way we'll always have to be clamberin' into our house; but sorra other way do I see, barrin' the hole's to be a passage ondherground.
