"Don't try to talk yet," said Drew. "Just lie still a few minutes till you are stronger." She obeyed, while he sat beside her holding her hand. "I can sit up now," she said after a few minutes. "My head is perfectly clear again." "Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself when you fell?" "I think not," she answered, as she passed her hand over her hair.
"You who are stronger than that which is down there," falling into the Zulu custom of refraining directly to mention that which is held in awe. "Without weapons. What are you now with them? Great great! To defeat the Spider armed only with the bones of men. Whau! That was great indeed magnificent!"
In the terrible conflict between principle and passion, the soul of the priest was tossed to and fro like the feathered seed-ball of a shuttlecock. But conscience was the stronger, and won. He resolved to drown his love and break off his connection with the girl. To do it suddenly, would bring grief to her and a scandal both on her family and the monastery.

I was by this time myself extremely ill. I sought to break from my heart all ties that bound it to earth, and to fit myself for eternity. V.

He had scarcely delivered his message when my dearest girl entered with Mr.
