du justice to the festivities of the day and night—nut a dim.
contented spirit, not a mourning habit to be seen from oat

of loyally which raged throughout, lighting up the counte-
winces a men, women, sad children, sal bursting forth oc-
casionally in cheers, shouts, and hortaing in honour of the
King, sufficient to rouse from their graves the aleepiug
masks of the old monastery.
