There was this external prosperity, so far as we know, and we know but little aside from monuments and medals.

Still, it is generally supposed and conceded that the Empire at this time was outwardly splendid and prosperous.
As nearly as they could figure it out the gold which they had collected was worth not quite one hundred thousand dollars very fair wages, it will be conceded, for six days' work by two men and two boys. On Sunday they conscientiously abstained from labor, though it can hardly be said that their thoughts were elsewhere.

It became quickly known in Coombe that, owing to Mrs. Coombe's delicate health, the wedding would take place much sooner than had been expected.
