A bed had still to be made up for our guest, and the morning's water to be fetched, with clinking pail; and as we set about these household duties, and showed off our wealth and conveniences before the stranger, and had a glass of wine, I think, in honour of our return, and trooped at length one after another up the flying bridge of plank, and laid down to sleep in our shattered, moon-pierced barrack, we were among the happiest sovereigns in the world, and certainly ruled over the most contented people.
There is one line of a hymn that always comes into my mind when I look at an olive tree, it runs "Beneath the olive's moon-pierced shade." That is very good, because the brilliant clear white light of an Eastern moon would certainly pierce through any "shade" an olive tree could make.
