During this season of the year, from the upper windows of the homestead the mill-pond was discernible, together with a small red building which stood upon its banks. For many years this house had been occupied by Mr.
'Pon my word I'm growing clever, Valencia, in spite of all your prophecies. Go up the Welsh coast. Nothing so healthy and airy as a sea-voyage: sea as smooth as a mill-pond, too, and likely to be.

On that particular night the oysters were fried to exactly the right shade of brown, and the delicate "mill-pond" flavor, so well known to every Charleston taste, was especially fine; the old sherry just two glasses of it apiece-seemed milder and warmer and richer than ever before; and the havanas never seemed so fragrant.
