prospect1, for she was aware that her strength must prove
inadequate2 to the strain of a more
protracted3 journey. The condition of her little boy, who was alternately flushed with fever, and pale with
exhaustion4, had begun to cause her great anxiety, and
unwilling5 to resign the care of the child even to Nan his faithful nurse, she insisted upon carrying him in her own arms. Twelve days and nights, passed in the open air, had done much to try her powers of endurance, and the charge of a sick child in addition would soon break down her strength

considerably7 diminished, was still far from small. As for Harris, he had shown himself pre-eminently adapted for forest-life, and capable of bearing any amount of
fatigue8. Yet, strange to say, as he approached the end of the journey, his manner underwent a
remarkable9 change; instead of
conversing10 in his ordinary frank and easy way, he became silent and
preoccupied11, as if
