e with hate and anger against men, you are
worthy of compassion; if you leave it with good-will, gentleness, and
peace, you are better than any of us."

--_Victor Hugo_

This lesson can be used as an exercise on Pause
springing from (1) Visualization and Grouping,
(Introduction, pp. 7 and 8); (2) Narrative which breaks
in upon the direct discourse. (Introduction, p. 24.)

THAT MAN WE KNOW ALREADY. (Introduction, p. 11.)

"SEE HERE ... CAN I STAY?" This paragraph is an exercise
on Emphasis. Make a list of the words which are emphatic
(1) because they express new and important ideas, (2)
because of contrast. Why is GALLEYS not emphatic? Where
is the emphasis placed in that sentence?

THE WELL OF ST. KEYNE

A well there is in the west country,
And a clearer one never was seen;
There is not a wife in the west country
But has heard of the well of St. Keyne.

An oak and an elm-tree stand beside, 5
And behind doth an ash-tree grow,
And a willow from the bank above
Droops to the water below.

A traveller came to the well of St. Keyne;
Joyfully he drew nigh, 10
For from cock-crow he had been travelling,
And there was not a cloud in the sky.

At the well to fill his pail;
On the well-side he rested it,
And he bade the stranger hail. 20

"Now, art thou a bachelor, stranger?" quoth he;
"For, an if thou hast a wife,
The happiest draught thou hast drank this day
That ever thou didst in thy life.

"Or has thy good woman, if one thou hast, 25
Ever here in Cornwall been?
For, an if she have, I'll venture my life
She has drank of the well of St. Keyne."

"I have left a good woman who never was here,"
The stranger he made reply; 30
"But that my draught should be the better for that,
I pray you answer me why."

"St. Keyne," quoth the Cornish-man, many a time
Drank of this crystal well;
And before the angel summoned her, 35
She l
