It was just more of the same in this overgrown US military tavern that had sprawled into the city known as Tijuana and it made him want to return to his hometown of Ensenada. Sang Huin avoided the three-dollar taxi rides and walked through various shopping plazas with their myriad pharmacies. He passed a bridge that went over a dried up river polluted with tires and less visible debris.
Being one of the last to leave James Breckenridge's house, he traveled the forest alone. But he had no feeling of fear. The trails and by-paths were as familiar to him as the streets of his hometown are to a boy of to-day. And the numberless sounds which reached his ears were distinguished and understood by the pioneer boy.
How could I possibly hope to come back to my old hometown and persuade people to believe that I am somebody else?" Her eyes had wandered out through the little grated window, and she made no reply. "You see how preposterous that would be. A mere resemblance is not enough to condemn a man upon, Miss Carstairs." She turned her head with a sudden gesture of annoyance.
The conversation turned to the Jewish question and to the growth of the anti-Semitic movement in Vienna, the hometown of both Herzl and Beer. It was useless for the Jew to turn artist and to dissociate himself from money, said Herzl. "The blot sticks. We can't break away from the ghetto."
"Perhaps you'll deny it was because you had stolen a watch and some diamond rings." "Ha, ha, ha! That's rich! But you're worse, my lad; you ran away from your hometown because you poisoned your sweetheart." "You're a Goddamned liar!" "Yes you did! And don't try and deny it! You fed her Spanish fly and..."

I had a mother, an old woman nailed to her chair for ten years by rheumatism. In the middle of the night, they pulled me out of my house; three damn policemen; I woke up a soldier twenty-five miles away from my hometown. A month ago our company passed by there again. My mother was already under the sod! ... So there's nothing left for me in this wide world; no one misses me now, you see.
Will Yerkes had friends there but that made no difference; Fred was quinined, low-dieted, bathed, comforted and reproved for swearing by a college-educated nurse, who liked his principles and disapproved of his professions just as frankly as if he came from her hometown. Meanwhile, we rested.
The author's genuine interest in his hometown folk never waned. Among the many and sincere expressions of his good-will were the free lectures he gave to the villagers. His descriptions of naval actions were full of vigor.
He thinks he'd better drive to the State House by detour through the parkway." "Go straight down through the city," commanded the mistress. "I'm not afraid of my hometown folks. Besides, I have an errand. Stop at the Marion Monitor office, Wallace!" The city certainly offered no cause for alarm when they traversed the streets of the business district.
Lawrence empties into that gulf, and the St. Lawrence is my own river, the river running by Quebec, my hometown and when I think about all this, my gorge rises and my hair stands on end! Honestly, sir, I'd rather jump overboard! I can't stay here any longer! I'm suffocating!" The Canadian was obviously at the end of his patience. His vigorous nature couldn't adapt to this protracted imprisonment.
