CHAPTER IX
18/25

I don't know why I have been speaking as I have, and to you, whom I never saw till yesterday.

Well, they have no drinking water near, and the new tenant made a great fuss about it.

At last the tenant fetched an old man from some parish a long way off, who said that he could find springs with a divining rod.
