For a long time he lay there, without finding a way out of his difficulty.,"Not yet; but I suppose there must be a village near here, and an inn, and I want you to direct me how to get to it.

Every morning early she has them carefully swept, with tea-leaves to keep down the dust, and if the tea is strong it kills the weeds."，"Yep, she does jest that. She don't seem to know any better.
