Books for you

Nay, children, to be null is merely a negative
property, and is fraught with no evil to your worthy parent; so lay
aside the fire-arms, and listen to the admonitions of reason. I
declare it vicious--null--abrogated. As for thee, Nelly, my feelings
towards thee are not at all given to hostility; therefore listen to
that which I have to utter, nor turn away thine ears in the wantonness
of security. Thou knowest the character of the man with whom thou
dwellest, young woman, and thou also knowest the danger of being found
in evil company. Abandon, then, the trifling advantages of thy
situation, and yield the rock peaceably to the will of those who
accompany me--a legion, young woman--I do assure you an invincible and
powerful legion! Render, therefore, the effects of this lawless and
wicked squatter,--nay, children, such disregard of human life, is
frightful in those who have so recently received the gift, in their
own persons! Point those dangerous weapons aside, I entreat of you;
more for your own sakes, than for mine.
