The Foreigner

CHAPTER XIV
6/42

He is a Protestant, but, although he can marry the people and baptise and say prayers when they desire it, I do not think he is a priest, for he will take no money for what he does.

Some of the Galicians say he will make them all pay some day, but Jack just laughs at this and says they are a suspicious lot of fools.

Mr.Brown is going to build a mill to grind flour and meal.
He brought the stones from an old Hudson's Bay Company mill up the river, and he is fixing up an old engine from a sawmill in the hills.
I think he wants to keep the people from going to the Crossing, where they get beer and whiskey and get drunk.

He is teaching me everything that they learn in the English schools, and he gives me books to read.
One book he gave me, I read all night.

I could not stop.
