It is the opinion of my See that it would hardly do to send a missionary into a country like this who is not well versed in English—a country where, they think, so far from understanding any language besides his own, scarcely one individual in ten speaks his own intelligibly; or an ascetic person where, as they say, high and low, male and female, are, at some period of their lives, fond of a renovating glass, as it is styled—in other words, of tippling.’

This he takes, still for the purpose of making things better. The father image in front of the wanderer is his future for he will occupy his father’s place. The Being behind him is surely the past, the careless childhood, that has not yet learned the difference between man and woman. It does not take the difficult right way, but quite intelligibly, the left.
"Well, miss, the captain is in trouble." "Oh, dear, what has happened?" "Well, the fact is, miss, the captain's took" "I cannot understand you. Pray speak intelligibly." "Arrested, miss." "Captain Kenealy arrested! Oh, Heaven! for what crime?" "La, miss, no crime at all leastways not so considered by the gentry. He is only took in payment of them beautiful reg-mentals.
Finding me a stranger, however, she accompanied me, without hesitation, up a narrow cross-road, that she might put me into the foot-path; and when we had come to it, finding some difficulty in giving intelligibly a complex direction, she concluded by saying she would go that way herself.
