I was coming home one day from a tramp toward Cramond Beach, and was just on the brow of a wooded height looking towards Edinburgh and not two miles from it, when a heavy thunder-cloud darkened the sky above my head and pelted me with large drops of ominous warning.

"And here," he cried, "is another long poem. Phœbus! what a name 'Artesian Waters! Here Christina, Estella and I pelted the rogue with apples. "I know why they are called 'Artesian Waters," he cried; "it is because it took a great bore to produce them. Hal ha!

Out of a sodden sky rain pelted in a black night. He was turning away when an empty banana crate behind him crashed down from a pyramid of them. Jeff whirled, was upon her in an instant before she could escape.

Elhaj Beshir, therefore, earnestly implored the Sultana to turn back and try to regain the Seraglio. Adsalis cast a contemptuous look on the Aga.
