I saw it in all my life. So he
went over at last not much above wet-shod. Fore-fancy and fore-arrange,
if it be possible, for a passage like that. When he was going tip to the
gate Mr. Greatheart began to take his leave of him, and to wish him a
good reception above. "I shall," he said, "I shall." Be fore-assured,
also, of a reception like that.

4. In process of time there came a post to the town again, and his
business was this time with Mr. Ready-to-halt. So he inquired him out
and said to him, "I am come to thee in the name of Him whom thou hast
loved and followed, though upon crutches. And my message is to tell thee
that He expects thee at His table to sup with Him in His kingdom the next
day after Easter." After this Mr. Ready-to-halt called for his fellow-
pilgrims and told them, saying, "I am sent for, and God shall surely
visit you also. These crutches," he said, "I bequeath to my son that he

hill." This done, and the day being come in which he was to depart, he
entered the river as the rest. His last words were, "Hold out faith and
patience." Fore-fancy such an end as that to your feeble mind also.

6. Did you ever know a family, or, rather, the relics of a family, where
there was just a decrepit old father and a lone daughter left to nurse
him through his second childhood? All his other children are either
married or dead; but both marriage and death have spared Miss Much-afraid
to watch over the dotage-days of Mr. Despondency; till one summer
afternoon the old man fell asleep in his chair to waken where old men are
for ever young. And in a day or two there were two new graves side by
side in the old churchyard. Even death could not divide this old father
and his trusty child. And so w
