All that he observed tended to confirm this reliance. How safe it was here! How trebly guarded!

Because they were busy they had less time and less desire to get drunk and quarrel. Mary's missionary work was having its effect on the lives of the people. Slowly they were changing from their heathen ways, but there was still much to do. One day while Mary and Mr. Ovens were working on the mission house they heard a wild scream from the nearby jungle.

Sterry had both been members of this same club. Curiously enough, Mrs. Hillyard, Mrs. Sterry, Miss Sutton, and myself have all lived, at different periods of our lives, very close together Mrs. Hillyard at Greenford, Mrs. Sterry and myself at Ealing, and Miss Sutton at Acton.

"There's times in all writers' lives when they haven't writ a line, yet books are written all the same.
Although they may be deserted by their lords, they do not yet become angry on that account, for women that are chaste lead their lives, encased in the armour of virtuous behaviour.
