Later the men went out to forage and found a farmhouse, where they got straw and milk, with a little sheep's-milk cheese.

The proprietress, aroused by the invasion, came down on us in a veritable visitation, furious at our burning her wood.

She abused the Prince and all the company in the most insulting terms, and was finally placated only by a liberal compensation for her wood.

I spread my bundle of straw under the wild plum tree, and, covered by my ulster, tempted sleep.

I dozed until the ants found me out, when, unable to lie quiet under the formication, I got up and passed hours walking up and down till I was so tired that I almost fell asleep walking; then I lay down again and slept for an hour, but the cold and the ants awoke me again, and I spent the rest of the night by the camp-fire.
