Tom then swore that he would never taste a drop of drink from that day out. He kept the pledge for about for about six months, and then of course a thing happened that would make any man break the pledge, a child was born to him. Tom went to town that evening and he met a friend there and they were talking for sometime, and then Tom told him what had happened at home. The other man of course congratulated him, and all that, and then he asked Tom to go and have a drink. Tom said he wouldn't that he hadn't tasted a sip for six months.

For this is the feeling of exiles who roam
