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.

Elhaj Beshir, therefore, earnestly implored the Sultana to turn back and try to regain the Seraglio. Adsalis cast a contemptuous look on the Aga.
The women followed, carrying bunches of leafy twigs with which they pelted the boys until they reached the camp. Matah and I had been watching the whole performance, and followed in the wake of the women.
