H. Rider Haggard Quote

Yes, I went on, we do, indeed; and again I smiled benignly, as I uttered that amazing lie. We come to stay with you a little while, and to bless you by our sojourn. Ye will see, O friends, that I have prepared myself for this visit by the learning of your language. It is so, it is so, said the chorus. Only, my lord, put in the old gentleman, thou hast learnt it very badly.
