"I had escaped, but with a shoulder so broken as to need an artificial
joint, and with eleven teeth wounds in my arm.
"These wounds were less severe than they would have been, had not a
heavy jacket which I had on, cleansed the teeth of the lion in their
passage. As it was, they were soon cured and gave me no trouble
afterward."

Directions for Reading.--Read this lesson in a full and clear
conversational tone of voice.
Those parts of the lesson to which we wish to call attention, should be
read slowly.
Example.--"The men edged in closer and closer, so that the lions might
be completely surrounded."
Should the slow and clear reading be kept up throughout pages 51 and 52,
or should those pages be read more rapidly?[04]
