Chapter 12: Harry Carried Off. 

Early in September, Stanley was sent to purchase cattle from some of the villages near the foot of the hills and, at the same time, to make inquiries as to the movements of a large band of marauders who had been making raids in that neighbourhood. He had with him four troopers of the bodyguard. Harry Brooke accompanied him. Although from the healthier situation of Prome, the amount of illness during the wet season did not approach that which had been suffered at Rangoon, a great many men were in hospital, and there were many deaths. Harry had had a sharp attack of fever and, as he had now recovered, to a certain extent, the medical officer of his regiment strongly recommended that he should have a change; and he therefore, without difficulty, obtained his colonel's leave to accompany Stanley, as the ground would be much higher than that on the river, and the mere fact of getting away from a camp where so many deaths took place every day would, in itself, be of great value. 

Stanley's daily journeys were not likely to be long ones, as he had instructions to stop at all villages; and to see how things were going on, and whether the people had any complaints to make of oppression and exaction by their local authorities. 

"It is a tremendous pull, your being able to speak the language, Stanley," Harry said. "If it hadn't been for that, you would have been stuck at Prome, like the rest of us. Instead of that, you are always about; and you look as fresh and healthy as if you were at a hill station, in India."

2. Are they short?
3. Where is he supposed to be stopping?
4. For what purpose?
5. What was he supposed to learn from the villagers?

Kapitel 12: Harry Carried Off. Tidigt i september skickades Stanley för att köpa boskap från några av byarna nära foten av kullarna och samtidigt göra förfrågningar om rörelserna hos en stor skara marodörer som hade gjort räder i det grannskapet. Han hade med sig fyra soldater till livvakten. Harry Brooke följde med honom. Även om Promes hälsosammare situation gjorde att sjukdomen under den våta årstiden inte närmade sig den som hade lidit vid Rangoon, var det många män som låg på sjukhus, och det var många som dog. Harry hade fått ett skarpt anfall av feber och, som han nu hade tillfrisknat, i viss mån, rekommenderade hans regementes sjukvårdsofficer starkt, att han skulle få en förändring; och han erhöll därför utan svårighet sin överstes tillstånd att följa med Stanley, då marken skulle vara mycket högre än den vid floden, och blotta faktumet att komma bort från ett läger, där så många dödsfall ägde rum varje dag, skulle i sig självt vara av stort värde. Stanleys dagliga resor torde icke vara långa sådana, då han hade instruktioner att stanna vid alla byar; och att se hur det gick, och om folket hade några klagomål att framföra på förtryck och utkrävning av sina lokala myndigheter. »Det är en oerhörd dragning, att du kan tala språket, Stanley», sade Harry. »Om det inte hade varit för det, skulle du ha fastnat på Prome, som vi andra. I stället för det är du alltid omkring; och du ser lika frisk och frisk ut som om du vore på en bergsstation, i Indien.» 1. Vem åkte på resor varje dag? 2. Är de korta? 3. Var ska han stanna? 4. I vilket syfte? 5. Vad skulle han lära sig av byborna? 6. Om vad? 7. Vem talar den lokala dialekten? 8. Var skulle han vara om han inte kunde? 9. Verkar han sjuklig? 10. Vem är med honom? 11. Hade Harry varit sjuklig? 12. Med vad? 13. Vad rekommenderade läkaren? 14. Ett exempel på det? Ge en numrerad lista med svar.
