And just as the bow that spans the mantling cloud reminds us of all beautiful things that glow around its antitype that spans the emerald throne on high, so, as we gaze upon the prismatic tints that are reflected from the oily surface, we dream of all that is beautiful in color and gorgeous in tinted radiance, as being hidden amid the elements of petroleum.
"She waits for you, even now, at Edgemere! I must save you, now, from hearing the story of strangers!" said Alixe, taking the girl's trembling hands.
