The Melbourne maps now show me that it must have reached still higher destinies. "Will Fortune never come with both hands full?" Second Part Henry IV. "The weakest go to the wall." Romeo and Juliet.
Trees fringed the southern bank here, leafless at this season, but still imparting a certain dark dreariness to the scene. The hoot of an owl occasionally broke the silence, and sent light shivers through Cuthbert's frame. He was not free from superstition, and the evil-omened bird was no friend of his.
