"They are both so," I added, "and they have been so from infancy's hour. See here!"
He had no longer, it is true, the magnificent landscapes of his youth; the fields of maize, the steppes, dotted here and there with clumps of wild roses; the Carpathian pines, with their sombre murmur; and all the evening sounds which had been his infancy's lullaby; the cowbells, melancholy and indistinct; the snapping of the great whips of the czikos; the mounted shepherds, with their hussar jackets, crossing the plains where grew the plants peculiar to the country; and the broad horizons with the enormous arms of the windmills outlined against the golden sunset.

Mr. Twist, too, was gayer than he had been for some hours. He seemed relieved; and he was.

I've druv yer to this 'ere werry station twice afore. Know yer!" Paul saw the uselessness of arguing with him.
