Excerpt: ...such privations, I am angry with myself." "A woman, sir, bears adversity better than a man. A woman is all love, and if she has but her husband and children with her, and in good health, she will make herself happy almost anywhere: but men are different: they cannot bear being shut out of the world as you are now." "It is our ambition which makes us unhappy, Ready," replied Mr. Seagrave; "but let us say no more about it: God must dispose of me as he thinks fit." After supper, Ready, being requested by William, ...

Excerpt: ...such privations, I am angry with myself." "A woman, sir, bears adversity better than a man. A woman is all love, and if she has but her husband and children with her, and in good health, she will make herself happy almost anywhere: but men are different: they cannot bear being shut out of the world as you are now." "It is our ambition which makes us unhappy, Ready," replied Mr. Seagrave; "but let us say no more about it: God must dispose of me as he thinks fit." After supper, Ready, being requested by William, continued his narrative. "I left off, if I recollect right, William, just as the Hottentot, with the cattle under his care, had frightened away the baboons who were tormenting us. Well, we came out of the cave and sat down under the rock, so that the Hottentot could not see us, and we had a sort of council of war. Romer was for going back and giving ourselves up again; for he said it was ridiculous to be wandering about without any arms to defend ourselves against wild beasts, and that we might fall in with something worse than the baboons very soon; and he was right. It would have been the wisest thing which we could have done; but Hastings said, that if we went back we should be laughed at, and the idea of being laughed at made us all agree that we would not. Bear this in mind, William, and never let the fear of ridicule induce you to do what is wrong; or if you have done wrong, prevent you from returning to what is your duty." "Many thanks for your advice, Ready; I hope William will not forget it," said Mr. Seagrave. "Well, sir, such was our reason for not giving up our mad scheme; and having so decided, the next point of consultation between us was, how we were to procure arms and ammunition, which we could not do without. As we were talking this over, I peeped from behind the rock to see where the Hottentot might be; I perceived that he had laid himself down, and wrapped himself up in his kross, a mantle of sheep-skins which they always...

Seller's Description:
Poor in very good dust jacket. No previous owner's name. Clean, tight pages. No bent corners. No remainder mark. THE FRONT COVER OF THIS BOOK IS COMPLETELY MISSING AND THE BINDING IS WORN. Back cover is very good and so are the pages.
when i was in the 5th grade our teacher read the class masterman ready. it was a very facinating story and i never forgot it. i am 72 years old and when i read it for the second time i found it as good as i did when i was a kid. it is a little corny and dated but i think it teaches young people good values and maybe that is what the world needs nowdays are good books like this to teach a moral lesson instead of some of some of the pardon the expression garbage that is in print now. all of captain marryat's books are very good and i would like to see some more of them on your service.
