"Dear love! at all times in all places at my downsitting and mine uprising," he answered every word an adoration. She was silent for a moment, then she dashed the tears from her eyes. "All the same, I shall never be a Catholic," she repeated resolutely; "and how can you marry an unbeliever?" "My Church allows it under certain conditions." Her mind flew over the conditions.
A few months later the Elizabeth Skelton Danforth Memorial Hospital was completed; but just as they were about to occupy the new building the Boxer uprising assumed such serious proportions that all work had to be dropped, and the women were forced to leave the city.
"I have always felt and thought," he wrote in the Mémoire justificatif, "that the most desirable end for me would be to fall in the midst of a great revolutionary storm."

Continuing his narrative, Morga describes his voyage to Mexico, whither he goes to be a member of the Audiencia there. He then relates the events of the Chinese uprising in Luzon in that year, which has been fully described in previous volumes of this series; and his picturesque although plain narrative casts new light upon that episode.
"When I went to San Domingo I found almost half of the colony uprising, and they made war upon me as a Moor, and the Indians on the other side were no less cruel. "Hojida came and he tried to make order, and he said that their Highnesses had sent him with promises of gifts and grants and money.
