The crocodile, however, hoping to repay him, kept watching for prey. After a time, there came a goose to the water. The crocodile pursued, and got hold of him; when down came the serpent, to stop him, as before. "Where are you going?" cried the crocodile. "Let that goose alone," said the serpent, "lest I kill you."
As Haney settled himself in the carriage, he said: "Well, little woman, did ye have a good ride?" "I didn't go," she responded, with curt emphasis. "Ye did not Why not?" "I had too much to do." This was a prevarication which she instantly repented. "Besides, they didn't turn up." "I'm sorry. I was hoping you'd had a good try at the new horse. Ye must mount him for me to see this afternoon."
I shall spend another anxious day preparing my defense, hoping that through some miracle of mercy you may forgive me understand that there was nothing else I could do. Do not judge, dear lady, until you know everything until all my evidence is in your lovely hands.
His name was E-ros´tra-tus; and when he was asked why he had done such a wicked thing, he said that it was only to make his name immortal. The people were so indignant, that they not only condemned him to die, but forbade all mention of his name, hoping that it would be forgotten. In spite of this care, Erostratus' name has come down to us.
Since we have given up the country, the Volksraad has put a very heavy tax on all imported goods, hoping thereby to beguile the Boers into paying taxes without knowing it, and at the same time strike a blow at the trading community, which is English in its proclivities.

"I want you to see where we are," she said, with slow and terrible solemnity. "If I am to be saved from it, now, or ever again, you must do it you you!" She drew herself together, with a little shiver.
From our end window that faced the point of the promontory we could get a fair idea of the stretch of wall, and the drop below. Also from the roof we could make out more, and even, in one place, glimpse a sort of path below the wall. "It's a question of three things," he said. "Ropes, agility, and not being seen." "That's the hardest part," I urged, still hoping to dissuade him.
That was really all that counted now. There could be little art in this last and final round of fencing. Just thrust and parry, and victory to the stronger. Brion closed his eyes again and knew the moment he had been hoping to avoid had arrived. Every man who entered the Twenties had his own training tricks. Brion had a few individual ones that had helped him so far.
Poor Jim, his arms akimbo and half-covered by his comforter, stuck to the wall like a plaid bat, if such a natural curiosity is imaginable, feverishly hoping that the men might go without seeing him at all.
His flesh had surely died with his childhood's innocent romance, that white-skinned girl with golden hair, whom now he never beheld otherwise than stretched upon her couch of suffering, her flesh as lifeless as his own. And he had afterwards made the sacrifice of his mind, which he then fancied even an easier one, hoping as he did that determination would suffice to prevent him from thinking.
