Asservie en esclave à plus d'événements, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, from 11 A.M. to 12.30. 2 (6). French. (Second Paper.) Well, I was now rid of my military employment; I sold my soldier's clothes, bought worse, and in order not to be overtaken, took the most unfrequented roads. One evening, as I was entering a village I perceived a man, whom I afterwards found to be the curate of the parish, thrown from his horse in a miry road and almost smothered in the mud. I drew him out with some difficulty. He thanked me for my trouble, and was going off, but I followed him home, for I loved always to have a man thank me at his own door. The curate asked me a hundred questions; and whose son I was? from whence I came? and whether I would be faithful? I answered him greatly to his satisfaction and gave myself one of the best characters in the world for sobriety (Sir, I have the honour of drinking your health), discretion and fidelity. To make a long story short, he wanted a servant and hired me. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, from 2.30 to 4.30 P.M. 2(). French. (Third Paper.) 1.

(Second Paper.) Translate into German : So his friend went his way, and Edwin sat alone on a stone before the house. And his heart was very sorrowful, and he knew not what to do or whither to turn him. Then there came a man and stood before him, a man of strange countenance and clad in strange raiment, such as Edwin had never before seen, and Edwin feared as he saw him. Then said he, 'Wherefore dost thou, while other men sleep, sit thus alone and sad on a stone before the house?' And Edwin answered and said, 'What is it to thee whether I abide this night within or without the house?' Then the strange man answered and said, 'Think not that I know thee not who thou art, and why thou art sad and sleepest not, and why thou sittest thus alone before the house. For truly I know thee well who thou art, and wherefore thou art sad, and I know what evils they are that thou fearest lest they should come upon thee. But tell me, what reward wilt thou give unto him who shall free thee from all thy sorrows, and shall persuade Raedwald so that he shall neither do thee any harm nor deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life?'
