I listened and listened they became more and more tender and remote, and, as they gradually died away, my head sunk upon the pillow and I fell asleep. Dark and dull night, flie hence away, And give the honor to this day That sees December turn'd to May. . . . . . . . Why does the chilling winter's morne Smile like a field beset with corn?
Rycht honorable Sir,—All my hartly duty vith humbill servise remembred. If I kan nocht vin to Fakland the first nycht, I sall be tymelie in St Johnestoun on the morne. Alwyse I repose on yowr advertysment of the precyse day, vith credit to the berar: for howbeit he be bot ane silly ald gleyd carle, I vill answer for him that he sall be very trew.
Many and wonderful were the objects seen from this lofty station; but not one of them not even the green knolls and hollows of the morne, stretched out from Le Zephyr to the pass not the brimming river of the plain not the distant azure sea, with its tufted isles was so interesting, under present circumstances, as this yellow winding road the way of approach of either friend or foe.
They found the pass well fortified; they found the morne above it still and undisturbed; untrod, as it seemed now likely to remain, by the foot of an invader. They found the mansion at Le Zephyr, spacious as it was, much enlarged by temporary erections, and prepared for the abode of more than the number that had come.
Angelica stole away to her own room, put on her things, and walked back to Morne alone. Angelica had been baptized into the world of anguish.

The event happened at the beginning of that important year which the Heavenly Twins spent with their grandfather at Morne, and doubtless they heard all about it, but, being very much occupied with a variety of absorbing interests at the time, it did not make any particular impression upon them.
"Well, yes," he answered. "We've had a little" the tone implied, "but not nearly enough." "We always like your cakes, you know," said Angelica; "and ours at Hamilton House are generally nice; but at Morne they're sometimes sodden."
