This steep-roofed Elizabethan house stood in the midst of park-like grounds of no great extent, but rendered imposing by the noble stature of the old trees that now cast their lengthening shadows eastward over the sward, from the declining sun.

A visit to the so-called "Kingdom of Goa" fills up our last day in Makassar.

Passant, ne fais icy de bruit, Et garde bien qu'il ne s'éveille. Car voicy la première nuit, Que le pauvre Scarron sommeille." There is rather a quiet, satisfactory place in front of the cathedral, with some good "bits" in it; notably a turret at the angle of one of the towers and a very fine steep-roofed dwelling, behind low walls, which it overlooks, with a tall iron gate.
"Have you called at that house?" she asked, pointing to a steep-roofed building, the top of which was just visible over the hill in the light of the rising moon. "No, who lives there?" "Mathew Stevens, a very good old man." "Has he a heart? Is he brave?" "He has a heart tender enough, and he is brave enough to shelter the oppressed, in spite of other people's opinions."
