At all hours of the night he is awake.

As to eating, a girl in our hundred, Fidelia, daughter of Jabez Merrismith, who has been much attracted by him and stays near him when she can, called him aside the other day, so she has told me, and gave him a biscuit--_soaked, perfectly soaked, with bacon grease_.

She had saved it for many days.

He took it and thanked her, but later she saw him giving it to the wife of Henry Glines, who is hauling Henry and the two babies in the cart.

She taxed him with not eating it himself; but he told her that she had given him more than bread, which was the power to _give_ bread.
