That little vine-hung arbour had been in her thought ever since Dr.
They were in the starry open country, on the high-road between the vine-hung mulberry trees.
Instead of a green-floored, vine-hung ravine, it is a wild mountain gorge, walled with precipitous cliffs of great height; and its river every canyon has a river comes from a source at the top of the gorge in a series of mad leaps, forming seven waterfalls, which plunge into circular basins of rock, worn smooth by the action of the stream.
