It lined the whole of the inside with its thick and brilliant coating.
Weeks, and even months passed, however, ere the smouldering ruins ceased to send up smoke, the fierce element continuing to burn, like a slumbering volcano, as it might be in the bowels of the earth. The day that succeeded this disaster, was memorable for the rebuke it gave the rapacious longing for wealth.
