question: CHAPTER I 

I SET OFF UPON MY JOURNEY TO THE HOUSE OF SHAWS 

I will begin the story of my adventures with a certain morning early in the month of June, the year of grace 1751, when I took the key for the last time out of the door of my father's house. The sun began to shine upon the summit of the hills as I went down the road; and by the time I had come as far as the manse, the blackbirds were whistling in the garden lilacs, and the mist that hung around the valley in the time of the dawn was beginning to arise and die away. 

Mr. Campbell, the minister of Essendean, was waiting for me by the garden gate, good man! He asked me if I had breakfasted; and hearing that I lacked for nothing, he took my hand in both of his and clapped it kindly under his arm. 

"Well, Davie, lad," said he, "I will go with you as far as the ford, to set you on the way." And we began to walk forward in silence. 

"Are ye sorry to leave Essendean?" said he, after awhile. 

"Why, sir," said I, "if I knew where I was going, or what was likely to become of me, I would tell you candidly. Essendean is a good place indeed, and I have been very happy there; but then I have never been anywhere else. My father and mother, since they are both dead, I shall be no nearer to in Essendean than in the Kingdom of Hungary, and, to speak truth, if I thought I had a chance to better myself where I was going I would go with a good will."

question: CHAPTER XXV. THE MADMAN TALKS 

Tavernake turned on the light. Pritchard, with a quick leap forward, seized Wenham around the waist and dragged him away. Elizabeth had fainted; she lay upon the floor, her face the color of marble. 

"Get some water and throw over her," Pritchard ordered. 

Tavernake obeyed. He threw open the window and let in a current of air. In a moment or two the woman stirred and raised her head. 

"Look after her for a minute," Pritchard said. "I Il lock this fierce little person up in the bathroom." 

Pritchard carried his prisoner out. Tavernake leaned over the woman who was slowly coming back to consciousness. 

"Tell me about it," she asked, hoarsely. "Where is he?" 

"Locked up in the bathroom," Tavernake answered. "Pritchard is taking care of him. He won't be able to get out." 

"You know who it was?" she faltered. 

"I do not," Tavernake replied. "It isn't my business. I'm only here because Pritchard begged me to come. He thought he might want help." 

She held his fingers tightly. 

"Where were you?" she asked. 

"In the bathroom when you arrived. Then he bolted the door behind and we had to come round through your bedroom." 

"How did Pritchard find out?" 

"I know nothing about it," Tavernake replied. "I only know that he peered through the latticework and saw you sitting there at supper." 

She smiled weakly. 

"It must have been rather a shock to him," she said. "He has been convinced for the last six months that I murdered Wenham, or got rid of him by some means or other. Help me up."

question: When Graham was a little boy, he really like giraffes. They were his favorite animal to see at the zoo. He liked giraffes more than elephants, pandas, tigers or lions. He dreamed of going to Africa to see giraffes in the wild. He told his family how much he liked them and they made sure he had plenty of books about giraffes. At school, he often wrote his reports about giraffes. He even painted his room with spots to look like a giraffe. When he got older, he went to school to study giraffes and other animals. Finally, during his final year of school, he went to Africa to study giraffes in their home. 

While there he met many people who also liked giraffes. He liked seeing how tall the giraffes were. He found that their homes were being destroyed by people using the land. Graham started an organization which raised money to help buy land for the giraffes to live on. Graham used everything he knew about giraffes to teach other people. He gave speeches, wrote books, made signs and sent letters telling people about the giraffes' home being destroyed.
