During this address, little abatement of resentment and scorn was visible in my companion. "I will hear you," she replied. "Your invention may amuse if it does not edify. But, I pray you, let your story be short." I was obliged to be content with this ungraceful concession, and proceeded to begin my narration. I described the situation of my father's dwelling.
In this kind of narration there ought to be a great deal of cheerfulness wrought up out of the variety of circumstances; out of the dissimilarity of dispositions; out of gravity, lenity, hope, fear, suspicion, regret, dissimulation, error, pity, the changes of fortune, unexpected disaster, sudden joy, and happy results.
"You have gotten Uncle Sam out of a bad mess," the ambassador said, when Ned had finished his narration, "and you will find that you will be well rewarded when you return to Washington." The ambassador also requested the boys to visit the other legations, but they did not care to do so. "Well," he said, then, "you must take a letter from me which may help you on your way.
I pointed. `Now, said he, `look along the spouter with one eye. I put one end of it against my cheek and tried to look, but by accident I touched the little thing, and it spouted too soon!

He stopped the flow of narration, and exclaimed "Ah! that's what I like dry hash and a bit of ham with an egg or two. I was just saying to my mate who's as big a born fool as ever drank whisky there's not a better meal made at sea than dry hash." By this time his mouth was full, and it was difficult to know what he wished to convey.
Honest John was the first that I know of who mixed narration and dialogue; a method of writing very engaging to the reader, who in the most interesting parts finds himself, as it were, brought into the company and present at the discourse.
Rutherford's Temperate Plea for Paul's Presbytery in Scotland, or Modest Dispute touching Independency of particular Congregations, and the same author's Peaceable Plea for the Government of the Church of Scotland, had preceded the Apologetical Narration; but the express answers to the Narration were numerous.
