Section 8
I was really happy in my little foreign cure and could have cheerfully remained among them, had I not been obliged to return to England to receive priest's orders and make a beginning towards laying a foundation to the OrphanHouse. . . . During my stay here the weather was most intensely hot.... Seeing others do it I determined to inure myself to hardships, by lying constantly on the ground; which, by use I found so far from a hardship, that, afterward it became so to lie in bed.
