Several of them informed us that tho

At that moment, not reeollocthig i

but ther w a priest, und I -w ill po and
eek him.' bo, not knowing Itxli n then,
I tirst const tutted a Latin scntenco
thoio:?ghly. I thoupht I had made it
very Bi ll, and then I pr.t it ex.v.lly, I
thought, into the Ita'ia'i proiiauciatien,
