In the dim haze under the moon, having packed Mr. Badcock and Mr.
This was "one of the servants" of Kish, Saul's father; not the steward or the chief of them not at all a picked man, but "one of the servants;" any one that could be most easily spared, as no endowments specially rare would be likely to find scope in looking after asses.
The traveller in France will not unseldom liken his fortunes to those of Saul the son of Kish, who, setting forth in search of his father's asses, found a kingdom; or, to use a homelier parable, will compare his case to that of the donkey between two equally-tempting bundles of hay. Such, at least, was my luck when starting for my annual French tour in 1887.
