I have had it in abundance. Did I come hither to avoid poverty or contempt ? Here I have met with them tenfold. And now, after all, was I to return home empty and naked, as Glan- lepze has done, should I meet a wife, as bare as myself, so ready to die in my embraces, and to be a slave herself, with her children, for my sake only ? I fear not. These and the like reflections had taken posses- sion of me when Glanlepze called me in; where I found his wife, in her manner, preparing our 72 LIFE OF P...ETER WILKIN S. supper, with all that cheerfulness which gives a true lustre to innocence. The bustle we made had by this time awakened the children ; who, stark-naked as they were born, both boys and girls, came crawling out, black as jet, from behind a curtain at the farther end of the room, which was very long. The father as yet had only inquired after them ; but upon sight of them he fell into an ecstasy, kissing one, stroking another, dandling a third, for the eldest was scarce fourteen ; but not one of them knew him, for seven years makes a great chasm in young memories.
