I hoped and prayed then that when he grew to man's estate, and faced the long rides down the hard roads of life, he would meet them and achieve them as he had the weary thirty-five Arizona miles from Long Valley to Mormon Lake. Mutton tasted good that night around our camp-fire; and Romer ate a generous portion.
After the preliminary alteration and arrangement of the rooms in the town-house had seemed to us worth seeing; after the arrival of the ambassadors one after another, and their first solemn ascent in a body, on the 6th of February, had taken place, we admired the coming in of the imperial commissioners, and their ascent also to the /Romer/, which was made with great pomp.
Romer; 'our trials are so great, we require a diversion, and so we talk of others. 'Now really, said Charles, 'I don't think your trials are equal to ours.

However, all was right when the Emperor came, and now they are ringing the bells, for he is to appear before the people on the balcony of the Romer, as if he were newly crowned.
