The glorious mid-day bathes on the hard sparkling yellow sands when the sea was smooth as the blue of heaven, and clear as transparent glass the long afternoons on the green and sunny cricket field the strolls over the mountains, and lazy readings under a tree in the fragrant fir-groves all invigorated him, and gave to his face the health, and to his heart the mirth, which told of an innocent life and a vigorous frame.
