Not liking this place, I moved back to Plymouth.

I did not have money enough to pay my rent, which however, was not due until the next May, but Mr.Deming, who by the way, was one of the richest men in the State, was determined that I should not go till I had paid him.

I promised him that he should have the money when it was due, if my life was spared, and he finally consented to let me go.

When it came due I walked to Farmington, fifteen miles, paid him and walked back the same day, feeling relieved and happy.

I obtained the job of finishing the inside of a dwelling house, which gave me great encouragement.
