A small, but beautifully white cloth was spread upon a flat portion of the rock; bread was there, and a small quantum of wine; a little patina and a humble chalice. M. d'Elbee took his place among the crowd before the altar, and Father Jerome, having dressed himself in his robes, performed, with a fine, full, sonorous voice, the morning service of his church.
The father is not under any restrictions at this time, but for a day of two he will gather young patina palms and from them prepare food for his wife. A woman does not work during her periods, and any food prepared by her at that time would be refused by all who knew her condition. From birth until marriage the career of the child is without special event.
A pillar stands all forlorn in a field; and quite close to the church are erected two others the larger of cipollino, beautified by a patina of golden lichen; a marble well-head, worn half through with usage of ropes, may be found buried in the rank grass. The plain whereon stood the great city of Sipus is covered, now, with bristly herbage.
Palliser and Wortley jumped to one side to get clear of the smoke, which hung like a cloud before them; and having taken my position with the expectation of something of this kind, I had a fine clear forehead shot as the elephant came rushing on; and I dropped him dead. The gun-bearers were in such a fright that they never stopped till they got out on the patina.
I then proposed that we should choose our elephants, which were scattered in the high grass, and advance separately to the attack. Palliser voted that we should creep up to the elephants that were in the jungle close to us, instead of going into the high grass. I did not much like this plan, as I knew that it would be much darker in the jungle than in the patina, and there was no light to spare.
Killed on Kicklamane Patina. 24. Two Does. Killed on Newera Ellia Plain. 28. Boar. . Killed on Elk Plains. 29. Doe. . Killed at the Rest and be Thankful bottom This is a tolerable show of game when it is considered that the sport continues from year to year; there are no seasons at which time the game is spared, but the hunting depends simply on the weather.
My reason for this was, that the elk invariably took to the jungle at this place, which proved it to be the easiest route. This road, on completion, answered every expectation, connecting the two sides of the Hog's Back by an excellent path of about two miles, and débouching on the opposite side on a high patina peak which commanded the whole country.
"They daub themselves green with verdigris, or sit out in the rain to get rusted; but green and rust are not patina; only the ages can give that!" "And my imitations are all in primary colors, staring colors, hot as the colors of a hostelry's sign-board!" said the Lady of Meissen, with a shiver.
It was a beautiful sight to see Bran fly along the patina: across the swampy bottom, taking the broad stream in one bound, and skimming up the hill, he was on the buck's path in a few minutes, pulling up to him at every stride. He passed the few dogs that were in chase like lightning, and in a few more bounds he was at the buck's side.
