" Yes," said Prudence, "so it is; for it is a hard matter for a man to go down into the valley of Humiliation, as thou art now, and to catch no slip by the way;" " therefore," said they, " we are come out to accompany thee down the hill." So he began to go down, but very warily; yet he caught a slip or two."
