And so peace brooded in Rainbow Bottom, and all of them were happy again.

Millward a fool, and he believes it all; but however little you may value the opinions of those about youhowever little you may esteem them as individuals, it is not pleasant to be looked upon as a liar and a hypocrite, to be thought to practise what you abhor, and to encourage the vices you would discountenance, to find your good intentions frustrated, and your hands crippled by your supposed unworthiness, and to bring disgrace on the principles you profess.’

"I abhor these things," he declared fretfully; "they are so sudden.

You, my creator, abhor me; what hope can I gather from your fellow creatures, who owe me nothing? They spurn and hate me. The desert mountains and dreary glaciers are my refuge.

'I will never hurt thee, replied Sophron, 'but in my own just defence; live to make a better use of life, and to have juster ideas of honour. Saying this, he assisted Tigranes to rise, but finding his temper full of implacable resentment, he turned another way, and left him to go home alone.

Map-makers, having no certain data concerning this vast uncharted area, commonly sprawled across the extremity of the southern hemisphere a purely fanciful outline of imaginary land.
