My journey by the direct road through France was not attended with any accident, and I arrived at Lausanne nearly twenty years after my second departure.
"Arhans are born at midnight hour, together with the holy flower that opes and blossoms in darkness." From an Eastern Scripture. We stood together at the door of our hut. We could see through the gathering gloom where our sheep and goats were cropping the sweet grass on the side of the hill. We were full of drowsy content as they were.
"And what do you want with me?" "I 'opes as theer's no offence, my lord," said he, knuckling his forehead, and speaking in a tone that was a strange mixture of would-be comradeship and cringing servility. "Cragg is my name, an' craggy's my natur', but I know when I'm beat.
