And yet No length' ning shadows mark the sun's decline, For all is shadowed by the cold, gray mist Which long has driven with the fitful wind, And still it is not gone. How chill the air! It seems but yesterday that summer's breath, Sultry and dry, distressed the thirsty fields And now the skies, repentant of their fault, Will more than make amends.
"Rise, venerable," said the stranger affably, for Ning had prostrated himself as being more prudent in the circumstances. "The one before you is only Tian, of obscure birth, and himself of no particular merit or attainment. You, doubtless, are of considerably more honourable lineage?"
He talked of it, indeed, as a lover, and, giving me for half an hour the advantage of his company, showed me all the points of the place. There is a por- tentous amount of history embedded in them, begin- ning with Romans and Visigoths; here and there are marks of old breaches, hastily repaired.

"What do I care about how many?" replied Mrs. Huang; "wait till I've spoken about it, and we'll see what will be the result."
