Statia

[ stey-shuh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

The enmity of the British for Holland, and especially against Statia, was no secret.

A little dog came out and barked at us—a sensible-looking cat rested on the porch—and in the door-way stood Cousin Statia.

Cousin Statia had been looking towards the door, when she suddenly inquired: "Did you ever tell her about the bullet hole?"

Since then, the selling on the beach of Statia has been confined to a little sugar and a few yams.

If Statia is set on keeping the wonderful secret, how can you expect me to divulge it?
