Much wisdom have ye in many things; but again I tell thee, O friend of my sons, that in some other things the people of thy nation ay, of all white nations, they be as the beasts of the forest the wild goat and pig without reason and without shame.

"There is another letter for thy husband, lady," he said to Mrs. * Papalagi = foreigner. Mrs. Raymond directed him where to find her husband, and then was about to return to the house, but her friend, who had not yet opened the letter in her hand, asked her to stay. "Don't go, Marie. I shall not open this letter. It is too bad of Mr. Villari to again write to me.

And must I, thy PAPALAGI, be parched with thirst because of this?"

TAH! but I was strong with fear, and held on, for to lose it meant death by the teeth. And Tulua he who came out alive with me, seized my feet and held on, else had I gone. Ah, PAPALAGI, some men are born to wisdom, but most are fools.
"Once or twice every year the ships brought him letters. And he would count the marks on the paper, and tell us that they came from a woman of the PAPALAGI his cousin, as you would call her whose picture was hung over his table.
