 place.' And 1 desire that the place where thou wilt again put me be 

 less rigorous than the former." Sapling said: "It shall thus come 

 to pass. I had hoped that, it may be, thou wouldst saj', 'I now 

 repent.' As a matter of fact it did not thus come to pass. Thy 

 mind is unchanged. So. now, I shall again send thee hence. 1 shall
