the anger of the epanchin family was unappeased for three days. as usual the prince reproached himself, and had expected punishment, but he was inwardly convinced that lizabetha prokofievna could not be seriously angry with him, and that she probably was more angry with herself. he was painfully surprised, therefore, when three days passed with no word from her. other things also troubled and perplexed him, and one of these grew more important in his eyes as the days went by. he had begun to blame himself for two opposite tendencies on the one hand to extreme, almost “senseless,” confidence in his fellows, on the other to a “vile, gloomy suspiciousness.”

by the end of the third day the incident of the eccentric lady and evgenie pavlovitch had attained enormous and mysterious proportions in his mind. he sorrowfully asked himself whether he had been the cause of this new “monstrosity,” or was it... but he refrained from saying who else might be in fault. as for the letters n.p.b., he looked on that as a harmless joke, a mere childish piece of mischief so childish that he felt it would be shameful, almost dishonourable, to attach any importance to it.

the day after these scandalous events, however, the prince had the honour of receiving a visit from adelaida and her fiance, prince s. they came, ostensibly, to inquire after his health. they had wandered out for a walk, and called in “by accident,” and talked for almost the whole of the time they were with him about a certain most lovely tree in the park, which adelaida had set her heart upon for a picture. this, and a little amiable conversation on prince s.’s part, occupied the time, and not a word was said about last evening’s episodes. at length adelaida burst out laughing, apologized, and explained that they had come incognito; from which, and from the circumstance that they said nothing about the prince’s either walking back with them or coming to see them later on, the latter inferred that he was in mrs. epanchin’s black books. adelaida mentioned a watercolour that she would much like to show him, and explained that she would either send it by colia, or bring it herself the next day which to the prince seemed very suggestive.

was wrong, perhaps, in his view of the matter, but he was somewhere near the truth, and was right in so far as that he understood there to be an intrigue of some sort going on. perhaps prince s. saw it all more clearly than he had allowed his hearers to understand. at all events, nothing could be plainer than that he and adelaida had come for the express purpose of obtaining explanations, and that they suspected him of being concerned in the affair. and if all this were so, then she must have some terrible object in view! what was it? there was no stopping her, as muishkin knew from experience, in the performance of anything she had set her mind on! “oh, she is mad, mad!” thought the poor prince.

but there were many other puzzling occurrences that day, which required immediate explanation, and the prince felt very sad. a visit from vera lebedeff distracted him a little. she brought the infant lubotchka with her as usual, and talked cheerfully for some time. then came her younger sister, and later the brother, who attended a school close by. he informed muishkin that his father had lately found a new interpretation of the star called “wormwood,” which fell upon the water-springs, as described in the apocalypse. he had decided that it meant the network of railroads spread over the face of europe at the present time. the prince refused to believe that lebedeff could have given such an interpretation, and they decided to ask him about it at the earliest opportunity. vera related how keller had taken up his abode with them on the previous evening. she thought he would remain for some time, as he was greatly pleased with the society of general ivolgin and of the whole family. but he declared that he had only come to them in order to complete his education! the prince always enjoyed the company of lebedeff’s children, and today it was especially welcome, for colia did not appear all day. early that morning he had started for petersburg.

about seven in the evening, soon after dinner, he arrived. at the first glance it struck the prince that he, at any rate, must know all the details of last night’s affair. indeed, it would have been impossible for him to remain in ignorance considering the intimate relationship between him, varvara ardalionovna, and ptitsin. but although he and the prince were intimate, in a sense, and although the latter had placed the burdovsky affair in his hands and this was not the only mark of confidence he had received it seemed curious how many matters there were that were tacitly avoided in their conversations. muishkin thought that gania at times appeared to desire more cordiality and frankness.

but all the same gania was in haste, for his sister was waiting at lebedeff’s to consult him on an urgent matter of business. if he had anticipated impatient questions, or impulsive confidences, he was soon undeceived. the prince was thoughtful, reserved, even a little absent-minded, and asked none of the questions one in particular that gania had expected. so he imitated the prince’s demeanour, and talked fast and brilliantly upon all subjects but the one on which their thoughts were engaged. among other things gania told his host that nastasia philipovna had been only four days in pavlofsk, and that everyone was talking about her already. she was staying with daria alexeyevna, in an ugly little house in mattrossky street, but drove about in the smartest carriage in the place. a crowd of followers had pursued her from the first, young and old. some escorted her on horse-back when she took the air in her carriage.

“as for yesterday’s episode,” continued gania, “of course it was pre-arranged.” here he paused, as though expecting to be asked how he knew that. but the prince did not inquire. concerning evgenie pavlovitch, gania stated, without being asked, that he believed the former had not known nastasia philipovna in past years, but that he had probably been introduced to her by somebody in the park during these four days. as to the question of the iou’s she had spoken of, there might easily be something in that; for though evgenie was undoubtedly a man of wealth, yet certain of his affairs were equally undoubtedly in disorder. arrived at this interesting point, gania suddenly broke off, and said no more about nastasia’s prank of the previous evening.

at last varvara ardalionovna came in search of her brother, and remained for a few minutes. without muishkin’s asking her, she informed him that evgenie pavlovitch was spending the day in petersburg, and perhaps would remain there over tomorrow; and that her husband had also gone to town, probably in connection with evgenie pavlovitch’s affairs.

“lizabetha prokofievna is in a really fiendish temper today,” she added, as she went out, “but the most curious thing is that aglaya has quarrelled with her whole family; not only with her father and mother, but with her sisters also. it is not a good sign.” she said all this quite casually, though it was extremely important in the eyes of the prince, and went off with her brother. regarding the episode of “pavlicheff’s son,” gania had been absolutely silent, partly from a kind of false modesty, partly, perhaps, to “spare the prince’s feelings.” the latter, however, thanked him again for the trouble he had taken in the affair.

muishkin was glad enough to be left alone. he went out of the garden, crossed the road, and entered the park. he wished to reflect, and to make up his mind as to a certain “step.” this step was one of those things, however, which are not thought out, as a rule, but decided for or against hastily, and without much reflection. the fact is, he felt a longing to leave all this and go away go anywhere, if only it were far enough, and at once, without bidding farewell to anyone. he felt a presentiment that if he remained but a few days more in this place, and among these people, he would be fixed there irrevocably and permanently.

i have tried, and i know. god knows whence they arise, these ideas that you speak of as base. i fear these double motives more than ever just now, but i am not your judge, and in my opinion it is going too far to give the name of baseness to it what do you think? you were going to employ your tears as a ruse in order to borrow money, but you also say in fact, you have sworn to the fact that independently of this your confession was made with an honourable motive. as for the money, you want it for drink, do you not? after your confession, that is weakness, of course; but, after all, how can anyone give up a bad habit at a moment’s notice? it is impossible. what can we do? it is best, i think, to leave the matter to your own conscience. how does it seem to you?” as he concluded the prince looked curiously at keller; evidently this problem of double motives had often been considered by him before.

others kept on the rails without difficulty; they ran off at the slightest obstacle. other houses were governed by a timid routine; theirs was somehow different. perhaps lizabetha prokofievna was alone in making these fretful observations; the girls, though not wanting in intelligence, were still young; the general was intelligent, too, but narrow, and in any difficulty he was content to say, “h’m!” and leave the matter to his wife. consequently, on her fell the responsibility. it was not that they distinguished themselves as a family by any particular originality, or that their excursions off the track led to any breach of the proprieties. oh no.

for a long time now lizabetha prokofievna had had it in her mind that all the trouble was owing to her “unfortunate character,” and this added to her distress. she blamed her own stupid unconventional “eccentricity.” always restless, always on the go, she constantly seemed to lose her way, and to get into trouble over the simplest and more ordinary affairs of life.

we said at the beginning of our story, that the epanchins were liked and esteemed by their neighbours. in spite of his humble origin, ivan fedorovitch himself was received everywhere with respect. he deserved this, partly on account of his wealth and position, partly because, though limited, he was really a very good fellow. but a certain limitation of mind seems to be an indispensable asset, if not to all public personages, at least to all serious financiers. added to this, his manner was modest and unassuming; he knew when to be silent, yet never allowed himself to be trampled upon. also and this was more important than all he had the advantage of being under exalted patronage.

as to lizabetha prokofievna, she, as the reader knows, belonged to an aristocratic family. true, russians think more of influential friends than of birth, but she had both. she was esteemed and even loved by people of consequence in society, whose example in receiving her was therefore followed by others. it seems hardly necessary to remark that her family worries and anxieties had little or no foundation, or that her imagination increased them to an absurd degree; but if you have a wart on your forehead or nose, you imagine that all the world is looking at it, and that people would make fun of you because of it, even if you had discovered america! doubtless lizabetha prokofievna was considered “eccentric” in society, but she was none the less esteemed: the pity was that she was ceasing to believe in that esteem. when she thought of her daughters, she said to herself sorrowfully that she was a hindrance rather than a help to their future, that her character and temper were absurd, ridiculous, insupportable. naturally, she put the blame on her surroundings, and from morning to night was quarrelling with her husband and children, whom she really loved to the point of self-sacrifice, even, one might say, of passion.

but lizabetha prokofievna felt somewhat consoled when she could say that one of her girls, adelaida, was settled at last. “it will be one off our hands!” she declared aloud, though in private she expressed herself with greater tenderness. the engagement was both happy and suitable, and was therefore approved in society. prince s. was a distinguished man, he had money, and his future wife was devoted to him; what more could be desired? lizabetha prokofievna had felt less anxious about this daughter, however, although she considered her artistic tastes suspicious. but to make up for them she was, as her mother expressed it, “merry,” and had plenty of “common-sense.” it was aglaya’s future which disturbed her most. with regard to her eldest daughter, alexandra, the mother never quite knew whether there was cause for anxiety or not.

sometimes she felt as if there was nothing to be expected from her. she was twenty-five now, and must be fated to be an old maid, and “with such beauty, too!” the mother spent whole nights in weeping and lamenting, while all the time the cause of her grief slumbered peacefully. “what is the matter with her? is she a nihilist, or simply a fool?”

but lizabetha prokofievna knew perfectly well how unnecessary was the last question. she set a high value on alexandra ivanovna’s judgment, and often consulted her in difficulties; but that she was a ‘wet hen’ she never for a moment doubted. “she is so calm; nothing rouses her though wet hens are not always calm! oh! i can’t understand it!” her eldest daughter inspired lizabetha with a kind of puzzled compassion. she did not feel this in aglaya’s case, though the latter was her idol. it may be said that these outbursts and epithets, such as “wet hen” (in which the maternal solicitude usually showed itself), only made alexandra laugh. sometimes the most trivial thing annoyed mrs.

epanchin, and drove her into a frenzy. for instance, alexandra ivanovna liked to sleep late, and was always dreaming, though her dreams had the peculiarity of being as innocent and naive as those of a child of seven; and the very innocence of her dreams annoyed her mother. once she dreamt of nine hens, and this was the cause of quite a serious quarrel no one knew why. another time she had it was most unusual a dream with a spark of originality in it. she dreamt of a monk in a dark room, into which she was too frightened to go. adelaida and aglaya rushed off with shrieks of laughter to relate this to their mother, but she was quite angry, and said her daughters were all fools.

“h’m! she is as stupid as a fool! a veritable ‘wet hen’! nothing excites her; and yet she is not happy; some days it makes one miserable only to look at her! why is she unhappy, i wonder?” at times lizabetha prokofievna put this question to her husband, and as usual she spoke in the threatening tone of one who demands an immediate answer. ivan fedorovitch would frown, shrug his shoulders, and at last give his opinion: “she needs a husband!”

“quite so, but don’t be in such a hurry! for since it has been the part of these three men, and only these three, to say something absolutely their own, not borrowed, so by this very fact these three men become really national. if any russian shall have done or said anything really and absolutely original, he is to be called national from that moment, though he may not be able to talk the russian language; still he is a national russian. i consider that an axiom. but we were not speaking of literature; we began by discussing the socialists. very well then, i insist that there does not exist one single russian socialist. there does not, and there has never existed such a one, because all socialists are derived from the two classes the landed proprietors, and the seminarists. all our eminent socialists are merely old liberals of the class of landed proprietors, men who were liberals in the days of serfdom. why do you laugh? give me their books, give me their studies, their memoirs, and though i am not a literary critic, yet i will prove as clear as day that every chapter and every word of their writings has been the work of a former landed proprietor of the old school. you’ll find that all their raptures, all their generous transports are proprietary, all their woes and their tears, proprietary; all proprietary or seminarist! you are laughing again, and you, prince, are smiling too. don’t you agree with me?”

consists in this, that russian liberalism is not an attack upon the existing order of things, but an attack upon the very essence of things themselves indeed, on the things themselves; not an attack on the russian order of things, but on russia itself. my russian liberal goes so far as to reject russia; that is, he hates and strikes his own mother. every misfortune and mishap of the mother-country fills him with mirth, and even with ecstasy. he hates the national customs, russian history, and everything. if he has a justification, it is that he does not know what he is doing, and believes that his hatred of russia is the grandest and most profitable kind of liberalism. (you will often find a liberal who is applauded and esteemed by his fellows, but who is in reality the dreariest, blindest, dullest of conservatives, and is not aware of the fact.) this hatred for russia has been mistaken by some of our ‘russian liberals’ for sincere love of their country, and they boast that they see better than their neighbours what real love of one’s country should consist in. but of late they have grown, more candid and are ashamed of the expression ‘love of country,’ and have annihilated the very spirit of the words as something injurious and petty and undignified. this is the truth, and i hold by it; but at the same time it is a phenomenon which has not been repeated at any other time or place; and therefore, though i hold to it as a fact, yet i recognize that it is an accidental phenomenon, and may likely enough pass away.

the prince did not notice that others were talking and making themselves agreeable to aglaya; in fact, at moments, he almost forgot that he was sitting by her himself. at other moments he felt a longing to go away somewhere and be alone with his thoughts, and to feel that no one knew where he was.

he thought of the mountains and especially of a certain spot which he used to frequent, whence he would look down upon the distant valleys and fields, and see the waterfall, far off, like a little silver thread, and the old ruined castle in the distance. oh! how he longed to be there now alone with his thoughts to think of one thing all his life one thing! a thousand years would not be too much time! and let everyone here forget him forget him utterly! how much better it would have been if they had never known him if all this could but prove to be a dream.

the prince had heard himself referred to as “idiot,” and had shuddered at the moment; but his shudder, it so happened, was not caused by the word applied to him. the fact was that in the crowd, not far from where he was sitting, a pale familiar face, with curly black hair, and a well-known smile and expression, had flashed across his vision for a moment, and disappeared again. very likely he had imagined it! there only remained to him the impression of a strange smile, two eyes, and a bright green tie. whether the man had disappeared among the crowd, or whether he had turned towards the vauxhall, the prince could not say.

that the prince was almost in a fever was no more than the truth. he wandered about the park for a long while, and at last came to himself in a lonely avenue. he was vaguely conscious that he had already paced this particular walk from that large, dark tree to the bench at the other end about a hundred yards altogether at least thirty times backwards and forwards.

he looked intently around him, and wondered why he had come here; he was very tired, so he approached the bench and sat down on it. around him was profound silence; the music in the vauxhall was over. the park seemed quite empty, though it was not, in reality, later than half-past eleven. it was a quiet, warm, clear night a real petersburg night of early june; but in the dense avenue, where he was sitting, it was almost pitch dark.

if anyone had come up at this moment and told him that he was in love, passionately in love, he would have rejected the idea with astonishment, and, perhaps, with irritation. and if anyone had added that aglaya’s note was a love-letter, and that it contained an appointment to a lover’s rendezvous, he would have blushed with shame for the speaker, and, probably, have challenged him to a duel.

all this would have been perfectly sincere on his part. he had never for a moment entertained the idea of the possibility of this girl loving him, or even of such a thing as himself falling in love with her. the possibility of being loved himself, “a man like me,” as he put it, he ranked among ridiculous suppositions. it appeared to him that it was simply a joke on aglaya’s part, if there really were anything in it at all; but that seemed to him quite natural. his preoccupation was caused by something different.

“i don’t love you, lef nicolaievitch, and, therefore, what would be the use of my coming to see you? you are just like a child you want a plaything, and it must be taken out and given you and then you don’t know how to work it. you are simply repeating all you said in your letter, and what’s the use? of course i believe every word you say, and i know perfectly well that you neither did or ever can deceive me in any way, and yet, i don’t love you. you write that you’ve forgotten everything, and only remember your brother parfen, with whom you exchanged crosses, and that you don’t remember anything about the rogojin who aimed a knife at your throat. what do you know about my feelings, eh?” (rogojin laughed disagreeably.) “here you are holding out your brotherly forgiveness to me for a thing that i have perhaps never repented of in the slightest degree. i did not think of it again all that evening; all my thoughts were centred on something else ”

“not think of it again? of course you didn’t!” cried the prince. “and i dare swear that you came straight away down here to pavlofsk to listen to the music and dog her about in the crowd, and stare at her, just as you did today. there’s nothing surprising in that! if you hadn’t been in that condition of mind that you could think of nothing but one subject, you would, probably, never have raised your knife against me. i had a presentiment of what you would do, that day, ever since i saw you first in the morning. do you know yourself what you looked like? i knew you would try to murder me even at the very moment when we exchanged crosses. what did you take me to your mother for? did you think to stay your hand by doing so? perhaps you did not put your thoughts into words, but you and i were thinking the same thing, or feeling the same thing looming over us, at the same moment. what should you think of me now if you had not raised your knife to me the knife which god averted from my throat? i would have been guilty of suspecting you all the same and you would have intended the murder all the same; therefore we should have been mutually guilty in any case. come, don’t frown; you needn’t laugh at me, either. you say you haven’t ‘repented.’ repented! you probably couldn’t, if you were to try; you dislike me too much for that. why, if i were an angel of light, and as innocent before you as a babe, you would still loathe me if you believed that she loved me, instead of loving yourself. that’s jealousy that is the real jealousy.

i have often heard of them, though i do not know much history. but it seems to me that it must have been so. when i was in switzerland i used to look with astonishment at the many ruins of feudal castles perched on the top of steep and rocky heights, half a mile at least above sea-level, so that to reach them one had to climb many miles of stony tracks. a castle, as you know, is, a kind of mountain of stones a dreadful, almost an impossible, labour! doubtless the builders were all poor men, vassals, and had to pay heavy taxes, and to keep up the priesthood. how, then, could they provide for themselves, and when had they time to plough and sow their fields? the greater number must, literally, have died of starvation. i have sometimes asked myself how it was that these communities were not utterly swept off the face of the earth, and how they could possibly survive. lebedeff is not mistaken, in my opinion, when he says that there were cannibals in those days, perhaps in considerable numbers; but i do not understand why he should have dragged in the monks, nor what he means by that.”

we see that in spite of the difficulty of finding other food, the accused, or, as we may say, my client, has often during his peculiar life exhibited signs of repentance, and of wishing to give up this clerical diet. incontrovertible facts prove this assertion. he has eaten five or six children, a relatively insignificant number, no doubt, but remarkable enough from another point of view. it is manifest that, pricked by remorse for my client is religious, in his way, and has a conscience, as i shall prove later and desiring to extenuate his sin as far as possible, he has tried six times at least to substitute lay nourishment for clerical. that this was merely an experiment we can hardly doubt: for if it had been only a question of gastronomic variety, six would have been too few; why only six? why not thirty? but if we regard it as an experiment, inspired by the fear of committing new sacrilege, then this number six becomes intelligible. six attempts to calm his remorse, and the pricking of his conscience, would amply suffice, for these attempts could scarcely have been happy ones. in my humble opinion, a child is too small; i should say, not sufficient; which would result in four or five times more lay children than monks being required in a given time. the sin, lessened on the one hand, would therefore be increased on the other, in quantity, not in quality. please understand, gentlemen, that in reasoning thus, i am taking the point of view which might have been taken by a criminal of the middle ages. as for myself, a man of the late nineteenth century, i, of course, should reason differently; i say so plainly, and therefore you need not jeer at me nor mock me, gentlemen. as for you, general, it is still more unbecoming on your part. in the second place, and giving my own personal opinion, a child’s flesh is not a satisfying diet; it is too insipid, too sweet; and the criminal, in making these experiments, could have satisfied neither his conscience nor his appetite. i am about to conclude, gentlemen; and my conclusion contains a reply to one of the most important questions of that day and of our own! this criminal ended at last by denouncing himself to the clergy, and giving himself up to justice. we cannot but ask, remembering the penal system of that day, and the tortures that awaited him the wheel, the stake, the fire! we cannot but ask, i repeat, what induced him to accuse himself of this crime? why did he not simply stop short at the number sixty, and keep his secret until his last breath? why could he not simply leave the monks alone, and go into the desert to repent? or why not become a monk himself? that is where the puzzle comes in! there must have been something stronger than the stake or the fire, or even than the habits of twenty years! there must have been an idea more powerful than all the calamities and sorrows of this world, famine or torture, leprosy or plague an idea which entered into the heart, directed and enlarged the springs of life, and made even that hell supportable to humanity!

“it puzzles me much to think how on earth the prince guessed yesterday that i have had bad dreams. he said to me, ‘your excitement and dreams will find relief at pavlofsk.’ why did he say ‘dreams’? either he is a doctor, or else he is a man of exceptional intelligence and wonderful powers of observation. (but that he is an ‘idiot,’ at bottom there can be no doubt whatever.) it so happened that just before he arrived i had a delightful little dream; one of a kind that i have hundreds of just now. i had fallen asleep about an hour before he came in, and dreamed that i was in some room, not my own. it was a large room, well furnished, with a cupboard, chest of drawers, sofa, and my bed, a fine wide bed covered with a silken counterpane. but i observed in the room a dreadful-looking creature, a sort of monster. it was a little like a scorpion, but was not a scorpion, but far more horrible, and especially so, because there are no creatures anything like it in nature, and because it had appeared to me for a purpose, and bore some mysterious signification. i looked at the beast well; it was brown in colour and had a shell; it was a crawling kind of reptile, about eight inches long, and narrowed down from the head, which was about a couple of fingers in width, to the end of the tail, which came to a fine point. out of its trunk, about a couple of inches below its head, came two legs at an angle of forty-five degrees, each about three inches long, so that the beast looked like a trident from above. it had eight hard needle-like whiskers coming out from different parts of its body; it went along like a snake, bending its body about in spite of the shell it wore, and its motion was very quick and very horrible to look at. i was dreadfully afraid it would sting me; somebody had told me, i thought, that it was venomous; but what tormented me most of all was the wondering and wondering as to who had sent it into my room, and what was the mystery which i felt it contained.

in a word, i behaved like a fool, and then, at that very same instant, i felt my ‘last conviction.’ i ask myself now how i could have waited six months for that conviction! i knew that i had a disease that spares no one, and i really had no illusions; but the more i realized my condition, the more i clung to life; i wanted to live at any price. i confess i might well have resented that blind, deaf fate, which, with no apparent reason, seemed to have decided to crush me like a fly; but why did i not stop at resentment? why did i begin to live, knowing that it was not worthwhile to begin? why did i attempt to do what i knew to be an impossibility? and yet i could not even read a book to the end; i had given up reading. what is the good of reading, what is the good of learning anything, for just six months? that thought has made me throw aside a book more than once.

five months ago i separated myself entirely from the family, and no one dared enter my room except at stated times, to clean and tidy it, and so on, and to bring me my meals. my mother dared not disobey me; she kept the children quiet, for my sake, and beat them if they dared to make any noise and disturb me. i so often complained of them that i should think they must be very fond, indeed, of me by this time. i think i must have tormented ‘my faithful colia’ (as i called him) a good deal too. he tormented me of late; i could see that he always bore my tempers as though he had determined to ‘spare the poor invalid.’ this annoyed me, naturally. he seemed to have taken it into his head to imitate the prince in christian meekness! surikoff, who lived above us, annoyed me, too. he was so miserably poor, and i used to prove to him that he had no one to blame but himself for his poverty. i used to be so angry that i think i frightened him eventually, for he stopped coming to see me. he was a most meek and humble fellow, was surikoff. (n.b. they say that meekness is a great power. i must ask the prince about this, for the expression is his.) but i remember one day in march, when i went up to his lodgings to see whether it was true that one of his children had been starved and frozen to death, i began to hold forth to him about his poverty being his own fault, and, in the course of my remarks, i accidentally smiled at the corpse of his child. well, the poor wretch’s lips began to tremble, and he caught me by the shoulder, and pushed me to the door. ‘go out,’ he said, in a whisper. i went out, of course, and i declare i liked it. i liked it at the very moment when i was turned out. but his words filled me with a strange sort of feeling of disdainful pity for him whenever i thought of them a feeling which i did not in the least desire to entertain. at the very moment of the insult (for i admit that i did insult him, though i did not mean to), this man could not lose his temper. his lips had trembled, but i swear it was not with rage. he had taken me by the arm, and said, ‘go out,’

“this blind, dumb, implacable, eternal, unreasoning force is well shown in the picture, and the absolute subordination of all men and things to it is so well expressed that the idea unconsciously arises in the mind of anyone who looks at it. all those faithful people who were gazing at the cross and its mutilated occupant must have suffered agony of mind that evening; for they must have felt that all their hopes and almost all their faith had been shattered at a blow. they must have separated in terror and dread that night, though each perhaps carried away with him one great thought which was never eradicated from his mind for ever afterwards. if this great teacher of theirs could have seen himself after the crucifixion, how could he have consented to mount the cross and to die as he did? this thought also comes into the mind of the man who gazes at this picture. i thought of all this by snatches probably between my attacks of delirium for an hour and a half or so before colia’s departure.

but the prince’s mental perturbation increased every moment. he wandered about the park, looking absently around him, and paused in astonishment when he suddenly found himself in the empty space with the rows of chairs round it, near the vauxhall. the look of the place struck him as dreadful now: so he turned round and went by the path which he had followed with the epanchins on the way to the band, until he reached the green bench which aglaya had pointed out for their rendezvous. he sat down on it and suddenly burst into a loud fit of laughter, immediately followed by a feeling of irritation. his disturbance of mind continued; he felt that he must go away somewhere, anywhere.

above his head some little bird sang out, of a sudden; he began to peer about for it among the leaves. suddenly the bird darted out of the tree and away, and instantly he thought of the “fly buzzing about in the sun’s rays” that hippolyte had talked of; how that it knew its place and was a participator in the universal life, while he alone was an “outcast.” this picture had impressed him at the time, and he meditated upon it now. an old, forgotten memory awoke in his brain, and suddenly burst into clearness and light. it was a recollection of switzerland, during the first year of his cure, the very first months. at that time he had been pretty nearly an idiot still; he could not speak properly, and had difficulty in understanding when others spoke to him. he climbed the mountain-side, one sunny morning, and wandered long and aimlessly with a certain thought in his brain, which would not become clear. above him was the blazing sky, below, the lake; all around was the horizon, clear and infinite. he looked out upon this, long and anxiously. he remembered how he had stretched out his arms towards the beautiful, boundless blue of the horizon, and wept, and wept. what had so tormented him was the idea that he was a stranger to all this, that he was outside this glorious festival.

i don’t want to go to their balls and things i want to do good. i have long desired to run away, for i have been kept shut up for twenty years, and they are always trying to marry me off. i wanted to run away when i was fourteen years old i was a little fool then, i know but now i have worked it all out, and i have waited for you to tell me about foreign countries. i have never seen a single gothic cathedral. i must go to rome; i must see all the museums; i must study in paris. all this last year i have been preparing and reading forbidden books. alexandra and adelaida are allowed to read anything they like, but i mayn’t. i don’t want to quarrel with my sisters, but i told my parents long ago that i wish to change my social position. i have decided to take up teaching, and i count on you because you said you loved children. can we go in for education together if not at once, then afterwards? we could do good together. i won’t be a general’s daughter any more! tell me, are you a very learned man?”

he went on to tell me a story of how he had been accused, or suspected, of stealing five hundred thousand roubles once, as a young man; and how, the very next day, he had rushed into a burning, blazing house and saved the very count who suspected him, and nina alexandrovna (who was then a young girl), from a fiery death. the count embraced him, and that was how he came to marry nina alexandrovna, he said. as for the money, it was found among the ruins next day in an english iron box with a secret lock; it had got under the floor somehow, and if it had not been for the fire it would never have been found! the whole thing is, of course, an absolute fabrication, though when he spoke of nina alexandrovna he wept!

these letters, too, were like a dream. we sometimes have strange, impossible dreams, contrary to all the laws of nature. when we awake we remember them and wonder at their strangeness. you remember, perhaps, that you were in full possession of your reason during this succession of fantastic images; even that you acted with extraordinary logic and cunning while surrounded by murderers who hid their intentions and made great demonstrations of friendship, while waiting for an opportunity to cut your throat. you remember how you escaped them by some ingenious stratagem; then you doubted if they were really deceived, or whether they were only pretending not to know your hiding-place; then you thought of another plan and hoodwinked them once again. you remember all this quite clearly, but how is it that your reason calmly accepted all the manifest absurdities and impossibilities that crowded into your dream? one of the murderers suddenly changed into a woman before your very eyes; then the woman was transformed into a hideous, cunning little dwarf; and you believed it, and accepted it all almost as a matter of course while at the same time your intelligence seemed unusually keen, and accomplished miracles of cunning, sagacity, and logic! why is it that when you awake to the world of realities you nearly always feel, sometimes very vividly, that the vanished dream has carried with it some enigma which you have failed to solve? you smile at the extravagance of your dream, and yet you feel that this tissue of absurdity contained some real idea, something that belongs to your true life, something that exists, and has always existed, in your heart. you search your dream for some prophecy that you were expecting. it has left a deep impression upon you, joyful or cruel, but what it means, or what has been predicted to you in it, you can neither understand nor remember.

if i were to bring you to the most loathsome den, and show you the revelation of undisguised vice you should not blush. you can never feel the sense of personal affront. you may hate all who are mean, or base, or unworthy but not for yourself only for those whom they wrong. no one can wrong you. do you know, i think you ought to love me for you are the same in my eyes as in his you are as light. an angel cannot hate, perhaps cannot love, either. i often ask myself is it possible to love everybody? indeed it is not; it is not in nature. abstract love of humanity is nearly always love of self. but you are different. you cannot help loving all, since you can compare with none, and are above all personal offence or anger. oh! how bitter it would be to me to know that you felt anger or shame on my account, for that would be your fall you would become comparable at once with such as me.

there are certain people of whom it is difficult to say anything which will at once throw them into relief in other words, describe them graphically in their typical characteristics. these are they who are generally known as “commonplace people,” and this class comprises, of course, the immense majority of mankind. authors, as a rule, attempt to select and portray types rarely met with in their entirety, but these types are nevertheless more real than real life itself.

“podkoleosin” [a character in gogol’s comedy, the wedding.] was perhaps an exaggeration, but he was by no means a non-existent character; on the contrary, how many intelligent people, after hearing of this podkoleosin from gogol, immediately began to find that scores of their friends were exactly like him! they knew, perhaps, before gogol told them, that their friends were like podkoleosin, but they did not know what name to give them. in real life, young fellows seldom jump out of the window just before their weddings, because such a feat, not to speak of its other aspects, must be a decidedly unpleasant mode of escape; and yet there are plenty of bridegrooms, intelligent fellows too, who would be ready to confess themselves podkoleosins in the depths of their consciousness, just before marriage. nor does every husband feel bound to repeat at every step, “tu l’as voulu, georges dandin!” like another typical personage; and yet how many millions and billions of georges dandins there are in real life who feel inclined to utter this soul-drawn cry after their honeymoon, if not the day after the wedding! therefore, without entering into any more serious examination of the question, i will content myself with remarking that in real life typical characters are “watered down,” so to speak; and all these dandins and podkoleosins actually exist among us every day, but in a diluted form. i will just add, however, that georges dandin might have existed exactly as molière presented him, and probably does exist now and then, though rarely; and so i will end this scientific examination, which is beginning to look like a newspaper criticism. but for all this, the question remains, what are the novelists to do with commonplace people, and how are they to be presented to the reader in such a form as to be in the least degree interesting? they cannot be left out altogether, for commonplace people meet one at every turn of life, and to leave them out would be to destroy the whole reality and probability of the story. to fill a novel with typical characters only, or with merely strange and uncommon people, would render the book unreal and improbable, and would very likely destroy the interest. in my opinion, the duty of the novelist is to seek out points of interest and instruction even in the characters of commonplace people.

for instance, when the whole essence of an ordinary person’s nature lies in his perpetual and unchangeable commonplaceness; and when in spite of all his endeavours to do something out of the common, this person ends, eventually, by remaining in his unbroken line of routine . i think such an individual really does become a type of his own a type of commonplaceness which will not for the world, if it can help it, be contented, but strains and yearns to be something original and independent, without the slightest possibility of being so. to this class of commonplace people belong several characters in this novel; characters which i admit i have not drawn very vividly up to now for my reader’s benefit.

many of our young women have thought fit to cut their hair short, put on blue spectacles, and call themselves nihilists. by doing this they have been able to persuade themselves, without further trouble, that they have acquired new convictions of their own. some men have but felt some little qualm of kindness towards their fellow-men, and the fact has been quite enough to persuade them that they stand alone in the van of enlightenment and that no one has such humanitarian feelings as they.

he seemed to have been born with overwrought nerves, and in his passionate desire to excel, he was often led to the brink of some rash step; and yet, having resolved upon such a step, when the moment arrived, he invariably proved too sensible to take it. he was ready, in the same way, to do a base action in order to obtain his wished-for object; and yet, when the moment came to do it, he found that he was too honest for any great baseness. (not that he objected to acts of petty meanness he was always ready for them.) he looked with hate and loathing on the poverty and downfall of his family, and treated his mother with haughty contempt, although he knew that his whole future depended on her character and reputation.

at the moment when he lost aglaya, and after the scene with nastasia, he had felt so low in his own eyes that he actually brought the money back to the prince. of this returning of the money given to him by a madwoman who had received it from a madman, he had often repented since though he never ceased to be proud of his action. during the short time that muishkin remained in petersburg gania had had time to come to hate him for his sympathy, though the prince told him that it was “not everyone who would have acted so nobly” as to return the money. he had long pondered, too, over his relations with aglaya, and had persuaded himself that with such a strange, childish, innocent character as hers, things might have ended very differently. remorse then seized him; he threw up his post, and buried himself in self-torment and reproach.

he lived at ptitsin’s, and openly showed contempt for the latter, though he always listened to his advice, and was sensible enough to ask for it when he wanted it. gavrila ardalionovitch was angry with ptitsin because the latter did not care to become a rothschild. “if you are to be a jew,” he said, “do it properly squeeze people right and left, show some character; be the king of the jews while you are about it.”

nature loves and favours such people. ptitsin will certainly have his reward, not three houses, but four, precisely because from childhood up he had realized that he would never be a rothschild. that will be the limit of ptitsin’s fortune, and, come what may, he will never have more than four houses.

varvara ardalionovna was not like her brother. she too, had passionate desires, but they were persistent rather than impetuous. her plans were as wise as her methods of carrying them out. no doubt she also belonged to the category of ordinary people who dream of being original, but she soon discovered that she had not a grain of true originality, and she did not let it trouble her too much. perhaps a certain kind of pride came to her help. she made her first concession to the demands of practical life with great resolution when she consented to marry ptitsin. however, when she married she did not say to herself, “never mind a mean action if it leads to the end in view,” as her brother would certainly have said in such a case; it is quite probable that he may have said it when he expressed his elder-brotherly satisfaction at her decision. far from this; varvara ardalionovna did not marry until she felt convinced that her future husband was unassuming, agreeable, almost cultured, and that nothing on earth would tempt him to a really dishonourable deed. as to small meannesses, such trifles did not trouble her. indeed, who is free from them? it is absurd to expect the ideal!

to serve her brother’s interests, varvara ardalionovna was constantly at the epanchins’ house, helped by the fact that in childhood she and gania had played with general ivan fedorovitch’s daughters. it would have been inconsistent with her character if in these visits she had been pursuing a chimera; her project was not chimerical at all; she was building on a firm basis on her knowledge of the character of the epanchin family, especially aglaya, whom she studied closely. all varvara’s efforts were directed towards bringing aglaya and gania together. perhaps she achieved some result; perhaps, also, she made the mistake of depending too much upon her brother, and expecting more from him than he would ever be capable of giving. however this may be, her manoeuvres were skilful enough. for weeks at a time she would never mention gania. her attitude was modest but dignified, and she was always extremely truthful and sincere. examining the depths of her conscience, she found nothing to reproach herself with, and this still further strengthened her in her designs. but varvara ardalionovna sometimes remarked that she felt spiteful; that there was a good deal of vanity in her, perhaps even of wounded vanity. she noticed this at certain times more than at others, and especially after her visits to the epanchins.

hippolyte had now been five days at the ptitsins’. his flitting from the prince’s to these new quarters had been brought about quite naturally and without many words. he did not quarrel with the prince in fact, they seemed to part as friends. gania, who had been hostile enough on that eventful evening, had himself come to see him a couple of days later, probably in obedience to some sudden impulse. for some reason or other, rogojin too had begun to visit the sick boy. the prince thought it might be better for him to move away from his (the prince’s) house.

a singular circumstance then arose in the case. the object in hand being to show that the prisoner went down, with some fellow-plotter untracked, in the dover mail on that friday night in november five years ago, and got out of the mail in the night, as a blind, at a place where he did not remain, but from which he travelled back some dozen miles or more, to a garrison and dockyard, and there collected information; a witness was called to identify him as having been at the precise time required, in the coffee-room of an hotel in that garrison-and-dockyard town, waiting for another person. the prisoner's counsel was cross-examining this witness with no result, except that he had never seen the prisoner on any other occasion, when the wigged gentleman who had all this time been looking at the ceiling of the court, wrote a word or two on a little piece of paper, screwed it up, and tossed it to him. opening this piece of paper in the next pause, the counsel looked with great attention and curiosity at the prisoner.

allowing for my learned friend's appearance being careless and slovenly if not debauched, they were sufficiently like each other to surprise, not only the witness, but everybody present, when they were thus brought into comparison. my lord being prayed to bid my learned friend lay aside his wig, and giving no very gracious consent, the likeness became much more remarkable. my lord inquired of mr. stryver (the prisoner's counsel), whether they were next to try mr. carton (name of my learned friend) for treason? but, mr. stryver replied to my lord, no; but he would ask the witness to tell him whether what happened once, might happen twice; whether he would have been so confident if he had seen this illustration of his rashness sooner, whether he would be so confident, having seen it; and more. the upshot of which, was, to smash this witness like a crockery vessel, and shiver his part of the case to useless lumber.

stryver fitted the prisoner's case on the jury, like a compact suit of clothes; showing them how the patriot, barsad, was a hired spy and traitor, an unblushing trafficker in blood, and one of the greatest scoundrels upon earth since accursed judas which he certainly did look rather like. how the virtuous servant, cly, was his friend and partner, and was worthy to be; how the watchful eyes of those forgers and false swearers had rested on the prisoner as a victim, because some family affairs in france, he being of french extraction, did require his making those passages across the channel though what those affairs were, a consideration for others who were near and dear to him, forbade him, even for his life, to disclose. how the evidence that had been warped and wrested from the young lady, whose anguish in giving it they had witnessed, came to nothing, involving the mere little innocent gallantries and politenesses likely to pass between any young gentleman and young lady so thrown together; with the exception of that reference to george washington, which was altogether too extravagant and impossible to be regarded in any other light than as a monstrous joke.

how it would be a weakness in the government to break down in this attempt to practise for popularity on the lowest national antipathies and fears, and therefore mr. attorney-general had made the most of it; how, nevertheless, it rested upon nothing, save that vile and infamous character of evidence too often disfiguring such cases, and of which the state trials of this country were full. but, there my lord interposed (with as grave a face as if it had not been true), saying that he could not sit upon that bench and suffer those allusions.

while his learned friend, mr. stryver, massing his papers before him, whispered with those who sat near, and from time to time glanced anxiously at the jury; while all the spectators moved more or less, and grouped themselves anew; while even my lord himself arose from his seat, and slowly paced up and down his platform, not unattended by a suspicion in the minds of the audience that his state was feverish; this one man sat leaning back, with his torn gown half off him, his untidy wig put on just as it had happened to light on his head after its removal, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes on the ceiling as they had been all day. something especially reckless in his demeanour, not only gave him a disreputable look, but so diminished the strong resemblance he undoubtedly bore to the prisoner (which his momentary earnestness, when they were compared together, had strengthened), that many of the lookers-on, taking note of him now, said to one another they would hardly have thought the two were so alike. mr. cruncher made the observation to his next neighbour, and added, “i'd hold half a guinea that he don't get no law-work to do. don't look like the sort of one to get any, do he?”

only his daughter had the power of charming this black brooding from his mind. she was the golden thread that united him to a past beyond his misery, and to a present beyond his misery: and the sound of her voice, the light of her face, the touch of her hand, had a strong beneficial influence with him almost always. not absolutely always, for she could recall some occasions on which her power had failed; but they were few and slight, and she believed them over.

a favourite at the old bailey, and eke at the sessions, mr. stryver had begun cautiously to hew away the lower staves of the ladder on which he mounted. sessions and old bailey had now to summon their favourite, specially, to their longing arms; and shouldering itself towards the visage of the lord chief justice in the court of king's bench, the florid countenance of mr. stryver might be daily seen, bursting out of the bed of wigs, like a great sunflower pushing its way at the sun from among a rank garden-full of flaring companions.

sydney carton, idlest and most unpromising of men, was stryver's great ally. what the two drank together, between hilary term and michaelmas, might have floated a king's ship. stryver never had a case in hand, anywhere, but carton was there, with his hands in his pockets, staring at the ceiling of the court; they went the same circuit, and even there they prolonged their usual orgies late into the night, and carton was rumoured to be seen at broad day, going home stealthily and unsteadily to his lodgings, like a dissipated cat. at last, it began to get about, among such as were interested in the matter, that although sydney carton would never be a lion, he was an amazingly good jackal, and that he rendered suit and service to stryver in that humble capacity.

sullenly enough, the jackal loosened his dress, went into an adjoining room, and came back with a large jug of cold water, a basin, and a towel or two. steeping the towels in the water, and partially wringing them out, he folded them on his head in a manner hideous to behold, sat down at the table, and said, “now i am ready!”

the lion then composed himself on his back on a sofa on one side of the drinking-table, while the jackal sat at his own paper-bestrewn table proper, on the other side of it, with the bottles and glasses ready to his hand. both resorted to the drinking-table without stint, but each in a different way; the lion for the most part reclining with his hands in his waistband, looking at the fire, or occasionally flirting with some lighter document; the jackal, with knitted brows and intent face, so deep in his task, that his eyes did not even follow the hand he stretched out for his glass which often groped about, for a minute or more, before it found the glass for his lips. two or three times, the matter in hand became so knotty, that the jackal found it imperative on him to get up, and steep his towels anew. from these pilgrimages to the jug and basin, he returned with such eccentricities of damp headgear as no words can describe; which were made the more ludicrous by his anxious gravity.

at length the jackal had got together a compact repast for the lion, and proceeded to offer it to him. the lion took it with care and caution, made his selections from it, and his remarks upon it, and the jackal assisted both. when the repast was fully discussed, the lion put his hands in his waistband again, and lay down to meditate. the jackal then invigorated himself with a bumper for his throttle, and a fresh application to his head, and applied himself to the collection of a second meal; this was administered to the lion in the same manner, and was not disposed of until the clocks struck three in the morning.

the quiet lodgings of doctor manette were in a quiet street-corner not far from soho-square. on the afternoon of a certain fine sunday when the waves of four months had rolled over the trial for treason, and carried it, as to the public interest and memory, far out to sea, mr. jarvis lorry walked along the sunny streets from clerkenwell where he lived, on his way to dine with the doctor. after several relapses into business-absorption, mr. lorry had become the doctor's friend, and the quiet street-corner was the sunny part of his life.

on this certain fine sunday, mr. lorry walked towards soho, early in the afternoon, for three reasons of habit. firstly, because, on fine sundays, he often walked out, before dinner, with the doctor and lucie; secondly, because, on unfavourable sundays, he was accustomed to be with them as the family friend, talking, reading, looking out of window, and generally getting through the day; thirdly, because he happened to have his own little shrewd doubts to solve, and knew how the ways of the doctor's household pointed to that time as a likely time for solving them.

a quainter corner than the corner where the doctor lived, was not to be found in london. there was no way through it, and the front windows of the doctor's lodgings commanded a pleasant little vista of street that had a congenial air of retirement on it. there were few buildings then, north of the oxford-road, and forest-trees flourished, and wild flowers grew, and the hawthorn blossomed, in the now vanished fields. as a consequence, country airs circulated in soho with vigorous freedom, instead of languishing into the parish like stray paupers without a settlement; and there was many a good south wall, not far off, on which the peaches ripened in their season.

the summer light struck into the corner brilliantly in the earlier part of the day; but, when the streets grew hot, the corner was in shadow, though not in shadow so remote but that you could see beyond it into a glare of brightness. it was a cool spot, staid but cheerful, a wonderful place for echoes, and a very harbour from the raging streets.

there ought to have been a tranquil bark in such an anchorage, and there was. the doctor occupied two floors of a large stiff house, where several callings purported to be pursued by day, but whereof little was audible any day, and which was shunned by all of them at night. in a building at the back, attainable by a courtyard where a plane-tree rustled its green leaves, church-organs claimed to be made, and silver to be chased, and likewise gold to be beaten by some mysterious giant who had a golden arm starting out of the wall of the front hall as if he had beaten himself precious, and menaced a similar conversion of all visitors. very little of these trades, or of a lonely lodger rumoured to live up-stairs, or of a dim coach-trimming maker asserted to have a counting-house below, was ever heard or seen. occasionally, a stray workman putting his coat on, traversed the hall, or a stranger peered about there, or a distant clink was heard across the courtyard, or a thump from the golden giant. these, however, were only the exceptions required to prove the rule that the sparrows in the plane-tree behind the house, and the echoes in the corner before it, had their own way from sunday morning unto saturday night.

although the doctor's daughter had known nothing of the country of her birth, she appeared to have innately derived from it that ability to make much of little means, which is one of its most useful and most agreeable characteristics. simple as the furniture was, it was set off by so many little adornments, of no value but for their taste and fancy, that its effect was delightful. the disposition of everything in the rooms, from the largest object to the least; the arrangement of colours, the elegant variety and contrast obtained by thrift in trifles, by delicate hands, clear eyes, and good sense; were at once so pleasant in themselves, and so expressive of their originator, that, as mr. lorry stood looking about him, the very chairs and tables seemed to ask him, with something of that peculiar expression which he knew so well by this time, whether he approved?

mr. lorry knew miss pross to be very jealous, but he also knew her by this time to be, beneath the service of her eccentricity, one of those unselfish creatures found only among women who will, for pure love and admiration, bind themselves willing slaves, to youth when they have lost it, to beauty that they never had, to accomplishments that they were never fortunate enough to gain, to bright hopes that never shone upon their own sombre lives. he knew enough of the world to know that there is nothing in it better than the faithful service of the heart; so rendered and so free from any mercenary taint, he had such an exalted respect for it, that in the retributive arrangements made by his own mind we all make such arrangements, more or less he stationed miss pross much nearer to the lower angels than many ladies immeasurably better got up both by nature and art, who had balances at tellson's.

here again: mr. lorry's inquiries into miss pross's personal history had established the fact that her brother solomon was a heartless scoundrel who had stripped her of everything she possessed, as a stake to speculate with, and had abandoned her in her poverty for evermore, with no touch of compunction. miss pross's fidelity of belief in solomon (deducting a mere trifle for this slight mistake) was quite a serious matter with mr. lorry, and had its weight in his good opinion of her.

it was such a curious corner in its acoustical properties, such a peculiar ear of a place, that as mr. lorry stood at the open window, looking for the father and daughter whose steps he heard, he fancied they would never approach. not only would the echoes die away, as though the steps had gone; but, echoes of other steps that never came would be heard in their stead, and would die away for good when they seemed close at hand. however, father and daughter did at last appear, and miss pross was ready at the street door to receive them.

dinner-time, and still no hundreds of people. in the arrangements of the little household, miss pross took charge of the lower regions, and always acquitted herself marvellously. her dinners, of a very modest quality, were so well cooked and so well served, and so neat in their contrivances, half english and half french, that nothing could be better. miss pross's friendship being of the thoroughly practical kind, she had ravaged soho and the adjacent provinces, in search of impoverished french, who, tempted by shillings and half-crowns, would impart culinary mysteries to her. from these decayed sons and daughters of gaul, she had acquired such wonderful arts, that the woman and girl who formed the staff of domestics regarded her as quite a sorceress, or cinderella's godmother: who would send out for a fowl, a rabbit, a vegetable or two from the garden, and change them into anything she pleased.

on sundays, miss pross dined at the doctor's table, but on other days persisted in taking her meals at unknown periods, either in the lower regions, or in her own room on the second floor a blue chamber, to which no one but her ladybird ever gained admittance. on this occasion, miss pross, responding to ladybird's pleasant face and pleasant efforts to please her, unbent exceedingly; so the dinner was very pleasant, too.

it was an oppressive day, and, after dinner, lucie proposed that the wine should be carried out under the plane-tree, and they should sit there in the air. as everything turned upon her, and revolved about her, they went out under the plane-tree, and she carried the wine down for the special benefit of mr. lorry. she had installed herself, some time before, as mr. lorry's cup-bearer; and while they sat under the plane-tree, talking, she kept his glass replenished. mysterious backs and ends of houses peeped at them as they talked, and the plane-tree whispered to them in its own way above their heads.

monseigneur, one of the great lords in power at the court, held his fortnightly reception in his grand hotel in paris. monseigneur was in his inner room, his sanctuary of sanctuaries, the holiest of holiests to the crowd of worshippers in the suite of rooms without. monseigneur was about to take his chocolate. monseigneur could swallow a great many things with ease, and was by some few sullen minds supposed to be rather rapidly swallowing france; but, his morning's chocolate could not so much as get into the throat of monseigneur, without the aid of four strong men besides the cook.

yes. it took four men, all four ablaze with gorgeous decoration, and the chief of them unable to exist with fewer than two gold watches in his pocket, emulative of the noble and chaste fashion set by monseigneur, to conduct the happy chocolate to monseigneur's lips. one lacquey carried the chocolate-pot into the sacred presence; a second, milled and frothed the chocolate with the little instrument he bore for that function; a third, presented the favoured napkin; a fourth (he of the two gold watches), poured the chocolate out. it was impossible for monseigneur to dispense with one of these attendants on the chocolate and hold his high place under the admiring heavens. deep would have been the blot upon his escutcheon if his chocolate had been ignobly waited on by only three men; he must have died of two.

monseigneur had been out at a little supper last night, where the comedy and the grand opera were charmingly represented. monseigneur was out at a little supper most nights, with fascinating company. so polite and so impressible was monseigneur, that the comedy and the grand opera had far more influence with him in the tiresome articles of state affairs and state secrets, than the needs of all france. a happy circumstance for france, as the like always is for all countries similarly favoured! always was for england (by way of example), in the regretted days of the merry stuart who sold it.

monseigneur had one truly noble idea of general public business, which was, to let everything go on in its own way; of particular public business, monseigneur had the other truly noble idea that it must all go his way tend to his own power and pocket. of his pleasures, general and particular, monseigneur had the other truly noble idea, that the world was made for them. the text of his order (altered from the original by only a pronoun, which is not much) ran: “the earth and the fulness thereof are mine, saith monseigneur.”

yet, monseigneur had slowly found that vulgar embarrassments crept into his affairs, both private and public; and he had, as to both classes of affairs, allied himself perforce with a farmer-general. as to finances public, because monseigneur could not make anything at all of them, and must consequently let them out to somebody who could; as to finances private, because farmer-generals were rich, and monseigneur, after generations of great luxury and expense, was growing poor. hence monseigneur had taken his sister from a convent, while there was yet time to ward off the impending veil, the cheapest garment she could wear, and had bestowed her as a prize upon a very rich farmer-general, poor in family. which farmer-general, carrying an appropriate cane with a golden apple on the top of it, was now among the company in the outer rooms, much prostrated before by mankind always excepting superior mankind of the blood of monseigneur, who, his own wife included, looked down upon him with the loftiest contempt.

a sumptuous man was the farmer-general. thirty horses stood in his stables, twenty-four male domestics sat in his halls, six body-women waited on his wife. as one who pretended to do nothing but plunder and forage where he could, the farmer-general howsoever his matrimonial relations conduced to social morality was at least the greatest reality among the personages who attended at the hotel of monseigneur that day.

for, the rooms, though a beautiful scene to look at, and adorned with every device of decoration that the taste and skill of the time could achieve, were, in truth, not a sound business; considered with any reference to the scarecrows in the rags and nightcaps elsewhere (and not so far off, either, but that the watching towers of notre dame, almost equidistant from the two extremes, could see them both), they would have been an exceedingly uncomfortable business if that could have been anybody's business, at the house of monseigneur. military officers destitute of military knowledge; naval officers with no idea of a ship; civil officers without a notion of affairs; brazen ecclesiastics, of the worst world worldly, with sensual eyes, loose tongues, and looser lives; all totally unfit for their several callings, all lying horribly in pretending to belong to them, but all nearly or remotely of the order of monseigneur, and therefore foisted on all public employments from which anything was to be got; these were to be told off by the score and the score. people not immediately connected with monseigneur or the state, yet equally unconnected with anything that was real, or with lives passed in travelling by any straight road to any true earthly end, were no less abundant. doctors who made great fortunes out of dainty remedies for imaginary disorders that never existed, smiled upon their courtly patients in the ante-chambers of monseigneur. projectors who had discovered every kind of remedy for the little evils with which the state was touched, except the remedy of setting to work in earnest to root out a single sin, poured their distracting babble into any ears they could lay hold of, at the reception of monseigneur. unbelieving philosophers who were remodelling the world with words, and making card-towers of babel to scale the skies with, talked with unbelieving chemists who had an eye on the transmutation of metals, at this wonderful gathering accumulated by monseigneur. exquisite gentlemen of the finest breeding, which was at that remarkable time and has been since to be known by its fruits of indifference to every natural subject of human interest, were in the most exemplary state of exhaustion, at the hotel of monseigneur. such homes had these various notabilities left behind them in the fine world of paris, that the spies among the assembled devotees of monseigneur forming a goodly half of the polite company would have found it hard to discover among the angels of that sphere one solitary wife, who, in her manners and appearance, owned to being a mother. indeed, except for the mere act of bringing a troublesome creature into this world which does not go far towards the realisation of the name of mother there was no such thing known to the fashion. peasant women kept the unfashionable babies close, and brought them up, and charming grandmammas of sixty dressed and supped as at twenty.

the leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance upon monseigneur. in the outermost room were half a dozen exceptional people who had had, for a few years, some vague misgiving in them that things in general were going rather wrong. as a promising way of setting them right, half of the half-dozen had become members of a fantastic sect of convulsionists, and were even then considering within themselves whether they should foam, rage, roar, and turn cataleptic on the spot thereby setting up a highly intelligible finger-post to the future, for monseigneur's guidance. besides these dervishes, were other three who had rushed into another sect, which mended matters with a jargon about “the centre of truth:” holding that man had got out of the centre of truth which did not need much demonstration but had not got out of the circumference, and that he was to be kept from flying out of the circumference, and was even to be shoved back into the centre, by fasting and seeing of spirits. among these, accordingly, much discoursing with spirits went on and it did a world of good which never became manifest.

but, the comfort was, that all the company at the grand hotel of monseigneur were perfectly dressed. if the day of judgment had only been ascertained to be a dress day, everybody there would have been eternally correct. such frizzling and powdering and sticking up of hair, such delicate complexions artificially preserved and mended, such gallant swords to look at, and such delicate honour to the sense of smell, would surely keep anything going, for ever and ever. the exquisite gentlemen of the finest breeding wore little pendent trinkets that chinked as they languidly moved; these golden fetters rang like precious little bells; and what with that ringing, and with the rustle of silk and brocade and fine linen, there was a flutter in the air that fanned saint antoine and his devouring hunger far away.

dress was the one unfailing talisman and charm used for keeping all things in their places. everybody was dressed for a fancy ball that was never to leave off. from the palace of the tuileries, through monseigneur and the whole court, through the chambers, the tribunals of justice, and all society (except the scarecrows), the fancy ball descended to the common executioner: who, in pursuance of the charm, was required to officiate “frizzled, powdered, in a gold-laced coat, pumps, and white silk stockings.” at the gallows and the wheel the axe was a rarity monsieur paris, as it was the episcopal mode among his brother professors of the provinces, monsieur orleans, and the rest, to call him, presided in this dainty dress. and who among the company at monseigneur's reception in that seventeen hundred and eightieth year of our lord, could possibly doubt, that a system rooted in a frizzled hangman, powdered, gold-laced, pumped, and white-silk stockinged, would see the very stars out!

monseigneur having eased his four men of their burdens and taken his chocolate, caused the doors of the holiest of holiests to be thrown open, and issued forth. then, what submission, what cringing and fawning, what servility, what abject humiliation! as to bowing down in body and spirit, nothing in that way was left for heaven which may have been one among other reasons why the worshippers of monseigneur never troubled it.

bestowing a word of promise here and a smile there, a whisper on one happy slave and a wave of the hand on another, monseigneur affably passed through his rooms to the remote region of the circumference of truth. there, monseigneur turned, and came back again, and so in due course of time got himself shut up in his sanctuary by the chocolate sprites, and was seen no more.

he was a man of about sixty, handsomely dressed, haughty in manner, and with a face like a fine mask. a face of a transparent paleness; every feature in it clearly defined; one set expression on it. the nose, beautifully formed otherwise, was very slightly pinched at the top of each nostril. in those two compressions, or dints, the only little change that the face ever showed, resided. they persisted in changing colour sometimes, and they would be occasionally dilated and contracted by something like a faint pulsation; then, they gave a look of treachery, and cruelty, to the whole countenance. examined with attention, its capacity of helping such a look was to be found in the line of the mouth, and the lines of the orbits of the eyes, being much too horizontal and thin; still, in the effect of the face made, it was a handsome face, and a remarkable one.

its owner went downstairs into the courtyard, got into his carriage, and drove away. not many people had talked with him at the reception; he had stood in a little space apart, and monseigneur might have been warmer in his manner. it appeared, under the circumstances, rather agreeable to him to see the common people dispersed before his horses, and often barely escaping from being run down. his man drove as if he were charging an enemy, and the furious recklessness of the man brought no check into the face, or to the lips, of the master. the complaint had sometimes made itself audible, even in that deaf city and dumb age, that, in the narrow streets without footways, the fierce patrician custom of hard driving endangered and maimed the mere vulgar in a barbarous manner. but, few cared enough for that to think of it a second time, and, in this matter, as in all others, the common wretches were left to get out of their difficulties as they could.

with a wild rattle and clatter, and an inhuman abandonment of consideration not easy to be understood in these days, the carriage dashed through streets and swept round corners, with women screaming before it, and men clutching each other and clutching children out of its way. at last, swooping at a street corner by a fountain, one of its wheels came to a sickening little jolt, and there was a loud cry from a number of voices, and the horses reared and plunged.

the sweet scents of the summer night rose all around him, and rose, as the rain falls, impartially, on the dusty, ragged, and toil-worn group at the fountain not far away; to whom the mender of roads, with the aid of the blue cap without which he was nothing, still enlarged upon his man like a spectre, as long as they could bear it. by degrees, as they could bear no more, they dropped off one by one, and lights twinkled in little casements; which lights, as the casements darkened, and more stars came out, seemed to have shot up into the sky instead of having been extinguished.

up the broad flight of shallow steps, monsieur the marquis, flambeau preceded, went from his carriage, sufficiently disturbing the darkness to elicit loud remonstrance from an owl in the roof of the great pile of stable building away among the trees. all else was so quiet, that the flambeau carried up the steps, and the other flambeau held at the great door, burnt as if they were in a close room of state, instead of being in the open night-air. other sound than the owl's voice there was none, save the falling of a fountain into its stone basin; for, it was one of those dark nights that hold their breath by the hour together, and then heave a long low sigh, and hold their breath again.

the valet come and gone, monsieur the marquis walked to and fro in his loose chamber-robe, to prepare himself gently for sleep, that hot still night. rustling about the room, his softly-slippered feet making no noise on the floor, he moved like a refined tiger: looked like some enchanted marquis of the impenitently wicked sort, in story, whose periodical change into tiger form was either just going off, or just coming on.

he moved from end to end of his voluptuous bedroom, looking again at the scraps of the day's journey that came unbidden into his mind; the slow toil up the hill at sunset, the setting sun, the descent, the mill, the prison on the crag, the little village in the hollow, the peasants at the fountain, and the mender of roads with his blue cap pointing out the chain under the carriage. that fountain suggested the paris fountain, the little bundle lying on the step, the women bending over it, and the tall man with his arms up, crying, “dead!”

the stone faces on the outer walls stared blindly at the black night for three heavy hours; for three heavy hours, the horses in the stables rattled at their racks, the dogs barked, and the owl made a noise with very little resemblance in it to the noise conventionally assigned to the owl by men-poets. but it is the obstinate custom of such creatures hardly ever to say what is set down for them.

the burial-place had got to the pass that its little heaps of poor grass were undistinguishable from one another; the figure on the cross might have come down, for anything that could be seen of it. in the village, taxers and taxed were fast asleep. dreaming, perhaps, of banquets, as the starved usually do, and of ease and rest, as the driven slave and the yoked ox may, its lean inhabitants slept soundly, and were fed and freed.

lighter and lighter, until at last the sun touched the tops of the still trees, and poured its radiance over the hill. in the glow, the water of the chateau fountain seemed to turn to blood, and the stone faces crimsoned. the carol of the birds was loud and high, and, on the weather-beaten sill of the great window of the bed-chamber of monsieur the marquis, one little bird sang its sweetest song with all its might.

now, the sun was full up, and movement began in the village. casement windows opened, crazy doors were unbarred, and people came forth shivering chilled, as yet, by the new sweet air. then began the rarely lightened toil of the day among the village population. some, to the fountain; some, to the fields; men and women here, to dig and delve; men and women there, to see to the poor live stock, and lead the bony cows out, to such pasture as could be found by the roadside. in the church and at the cross, a kneeling figure or two; attendant on the latter prayers, the led cow, trying for a breakfast among the weeds at its foot.

the chateau awoke later, as became its quality, but awoke gradually and surely. first, the lonely boar-spears and knives of the chase had been reddened as of old; then, had gleamed trenchant in the morning sunshine; now, doors and windows were thrown open, horses in their stables looked round over their shoulders at the light and freshness pouring in at doorways, leaves sparkled and rustled at iron-grated windows, dogs pulled hard at their chains, and reared impatient to be loosed.

all these trivial incidents belonged to the routine of life, and the return of morning. surely, not so the ringing of the great bell of the chateau, nor the running up and down the stairs; nor the hurried figures on the terrace; nor the booting and tramping here and there and everywhere, nor the quick saddling of horses and riding away?

what winds conveyed this hurry to the grizzled mender of roads, already at work on the hill-top beyond the village, with his day's dinner (not much to carry) lying in a bundle that it was worth no crow's while to peck at, on a heap of stones? had the birds, carrying some grains of it to a distance, dropped one over him as they sow chance seeds? whether or no, the mender of roads ran, on the sultry morning, as if for his life, down the hill, knee-high in dust, and never stopped till he got to the fountain.

all the people of the village were at the fountain, standing about in their depressed manner, and whispering low, but showing no other emotions than grim curiosity and surprise. the led cows, hastily brought in and tethered to anything that would hold them, were looking stupidly on, or lying down chewing the cud of nothing particularly repaying their trouble, which they had picked up in their interrupted saunter. some of the people of the chateau, and some of those of the posting-house, and all the taxing authorities, were armed more or less, and were crowded on the other side of the little street in a purposeless way, that was highly fraught with nothing. already, the mender of roads had penetrated into the midst of a group of fifty particular friends, and was smiting himself in the breast with his blue cap. what did all this portend, and what portended the swift hoisting-up of monsieur gabelle behind a servant on horseback, and the conveying away of the said gabelle (double-laden though the horse was), at a gallop, like a new version of the german ballad of leonora?

more months, to the number of twelve, had come and gone, and mr. charles darnay was established in england as a higher teacher of the french language who was conversant with french literature. in this age, he would have been a professor; in that age, he was a tutor. he read with young men who could find any leisure and interest for the study of a living tongue spoken all over the world, and he cultivated a taste for its stores of knowledge and fancy. he could write of them, besides, in sound english, and render them into sound english. such masters were not at that time easily found; princes that had been, and kings that were to be, were not yet of the teacher class, and no ruined nobility had dropped out of tellson's ledgers, to turn cooks and carpenters. as a tutor, whose attainments made the student's way unusually pleasant and profitable, and as an elegant translator who brought something to his work besides mere dictionary knowledge, young mr. darnay soon became known and encouraged. he was well acquainted, more-over, with the circumstances of his country, and those were of ever-growing interest.

and yet he did care something for the streets that environed that house, and for the senseless stones that made their pavements. many a night he vaguely and unhappily wandered there, when wine had brought no transitory gladness to him; many a dreary daybreak revealed his solitary figure lingering there, and still lingering there when the first beams of the sun brought into strong relief, removed beauties of architecture in spires of churches and lofty buildings, as perhaps the quiet time brought some sense of better things, else forgotten and unattainable, into his mind. of late, the neglected bed in the temple court had known him more scantily than ever; and often when he had thrown himself upon it no longer than a few minutes, he had got up again, and haunted that neighbourhood.

on a day in august, when mr. stryver (after notifying to his jackal that “he had thought better of that marrying matter”) had carried his delicacy into devonshire, and when the sight and scent of flowers in the city streets had some waifs of goodness in them for the worst, of health for the sickliest, and of youth for the oldest, sydney's feet still trod those stones. from being irresolute and purposeless, his feet became animated by an intention, and, in the working out of that intention, they took him to the doctor's door.

with his straw in his mouth, mr. cruncher sat watching the two streams, like the heathen rustic who has for several centuries been on duty watching one stream saving that jerry had no expectation of their ever running dry. nor would it have been an expectation of a hopeful kind, since a small part of his income was derived from the pilotage of timid women (mostly of a full habit and past the middle term of life) from tellson's side of the tides to the opposite shore. brief as such companionship was in every separate instance, mr. cruncher never failed to become so interested in the lady as to express a strong desire to have the honour of drinking her very good health. and it was from the gifts bestowed upon him towards the execution of this benevolent purpose, that he recruited his finances, as just now observed.

the dead man disposed of, and the crowd being under the necessity of providing some other entertainment for itself, another brighter genius (or perhaps the same) conceived the humour of impeaching casual passers-by, as old bailey spies, and wreaking vengeance on them. chase was given to some scores of inoffensive persons who had never been near the old bailey in their lives, in the realisation of this fancy, and they were roughly hustled and maltreated. the transition to the sport of window-breaking, and thence to the plundering of public-houses, was easy and natural. at last, after several hours, when sundry summer-houses had been pulled down, and some area-railings had been torn up, to arm the more belligerent spirits, a rumour got about that the guards were coming. before this rumour, the crowd gradually melted away, and perhaps the guards came, and perhaps they never came, and this was the usual progress of a mob.

he devoted himself during the remainder of the evening to keeping a most vigilant watch on mrs. cruncher, and sullenly holding her in conversation that she might be prevented from meditating any petitions to his disadvantage. with this view, he urged his son to hold her in conversation also, and led the unfortunate woman a hard life by dwelling on any causes of complaint he could bring against her, rather than he would leave her for a moment to her own reflections. the devoutest person could have rendered no greater homage to the efficacy of an honest prayer than he did in this distrust of his wife. it was as if a professed unbeliever in ghosts should be frightened by a ghost story.

thus the evening wore away with the cruncher family, until young jerry was ordered to bed, and his mother, laid under similar injunctions, obeyed them. mr. cruncher beguiled the earlier watches of the night with solitary pipes, and did not start upon his excursion until nearly one o'clock. towards that small and ghostly hour, he rose up from his chair, took a key out of his pocket, opened a locked cupboard, and brought forth a sack, a crowbar of convenient size, a rope and chain, and other fishing tackle of that nature. disposing these articles about him in skilful manner, he bestowed a parting defiance on mrs. cruncher, extinguished the light, and went out.

it was now young jerry's turn to approach the gate: which he did, holding his breath. crouching down again in a corner there, and looking in, he made out the three fishermen creeping through some rank grass!

but, his long-cherished desire to know more about these matters, not only stopped him in his running away, but lured him back again. they were still fishing perseveringly, when he peeped in at the gate for the second time; but, now they seemed to have got a bite. there was a screwing and complaining sound down below, and their bent figures were strained, as if by a weight. by slow degrees the weight broke away the earth upon it, and came to the surface. young jerry very well knew what it would be; but, when he saw it, and saw his honoured parent about to wrench it open, he was so frightened, being new to the sight, that he made off again, and never stopped until he had run a mile or more.

he would not have stopped then, for anything less necessary than breath, it being a spectral sort of race that he ran, and one highly desirable to get to the end of. he had a strong idea that the coffin he had seen was running after him; and, pictured as hopping on behind him, bolt upright, upon its narrow end, always on the point of overtaking him and hopping on at his side perhaps taking his arm it was a pursuer to shun. it was an inconsistent and ubiquitous fiend too, for, while it was making the whole night behind him dreadful, he darted out into the roadway to avoid dark alleys, fearful of its coming hopping out of them like a dropsical boy's kite without tail and wings. it hid in doorways too, rubbing its horrible shoulders against doors, and drawing them up to its ears, as if it were laughing. it got into shadows on the road, and lay cunningly on its back to trip him up. all this time it was incessantly hopping on behind and gaining on him, so that when the boy got to his own door he had reason for being half dead. and even then it would not leave him, but followed him upstairs with a bump on every stair, scrambled into bed with him, and bumped down, dead and heavy, on his breast when he fell asleep.

the altercation was conducted in a low tone of voice, and terminated in the honest tradesman's kicking off his clay-soiled boots, and lying down at his length on the floor. after taking a timid peep at him lying on his back, with his rusty hands under his head for a pillow, his son lay down too, and fell asleep again.

young jerry, walking with the stool under his arm at his father's side along sunny and crowded fleet-street, was a very different young jerry from him of the previous night, running home through darkness and solitude from his grim pursuer. his cunning was fresh with the day, and his qualms were gone with the night in which particulars it is not improbable that he had compeers in fleet-street and the city of london, that fine morning.

there had been earlier drinking than usual in the wine-shop of monsieur defarge. as early as six o'clock in the morning, sallow faces peeping through its barred windows had descried other faces within, bending over measures of wine. monsieur defarge sold a very thin wine at the best of times, but it would seem to have been an unusually thin wine that he sold at this time. a sour wine, moreover, or a souring, for its influence on the mood of those who drank it was to make them gloomy. no vivacious bacchanalian flame leaped out of the pressed grape of monsieur defarge: but, a smouldering fire that burnt in the dark, lay hidden in the dregs of it.

this had been the third morning in succession, on which there had been early drinking at the wine-shop of monsieur defarge. it had begun on monday, and here was wednesday come. there had been more of early brooding than drinking; for, many men had listened and whispered and slunk about there from the time of the opening of the door, who could not have laid a piece of money on the counter to save their souls. these were to the full as interested in the place, however, as if they could have commanded whole barrels of wine; and they glided from seat to seat, and from corner to corner, swallowing talk in lieu of drink, with greedy looks.

worse quarters than defarge's wine-shop, could easily have been found in paris for a provincial slave of that degree. saving for a mysterious dread of madame by which he was constantly haunted, his life was very new and agreeable. but, madame sat all day at her counter, so expressly unconscious of him, and so particularly determined not to perceive that his being there had any connection with anything below the surface, that he shook in his wooden shoes whenever his eye lighted on her. for, he contended with himself that it was impossible to foresee what that lady might pretend next; and he felt assured that if she should take it into her brightly ornamented head to pretend that she had seen him do a murder and afterwards flay the victim, she would infallibly go through with it until the play was played out.

the man moved a little further away, as soon as he could, and the mender of roads fanned himself with his blue cap: feeling it mightily close and oppressive. if he needed a king and queen to restore him, he was fortunate in having his remedy at hand; for, soon the large-faced king and the fair-faced queen came in their golden coach, attended by the shining bull's eye of their court, a glittering multitude of laughing ladies and fine lords; and in jewels and silks and powder and splendour and elegantly spurning figures and handsomely disdainful faces of both sexes, the mender of roads bathed himself, so much to his temporary intoxication, that he cried long live the king, long live the queen, long live everybody and everything! as if he had never heard of ubiquitous jacques in his time. then, there were gardens, courtyards, terraces, fountains, green banks, more king and queen, more bull's eye, more lords and ladies, more long live they all! until he absolutely wept with sentiment. during the whole of this scene, which lasted some three hours, he had plenty of shouting and weeping and sentimental company, and throughout defarge held him by the collar, as if to restrain him from flying at the objects of his brief devotion and tearing them to pieces.

madame defarge and monsieur her husband returned amicably to the bosom of saint antoine, while a speck in a blue cap toiled through the darkness, and through the dust, and down the weary miles of avenue by the wayside, slowly tending towards that point of the compass where the chateau of monsieur the marquis, now in his grave, listened to the whispering trees. such ample leisure had the stone faces, now, for listening to the trees and to the fountain, that the few village scarecrows who, in their quest for herbs to eat and fragments of dead stick to burn, strayed within sight of the great stone courtyard and terrace staircase, had it borne in upon their starved fancy that the expression of the faces was altered. a rumour just lived in the village had a faint and bare existence there, as its people had that when the knife struck home, the faces changed, from faces of pride to faces of anger and pain; also, that when that dangling figure was hauled up forty feet above the fountain, they changed again, and bore a cruel look of being avenged, which they would henceforth bear for ever. in the stone face over the great window of the bed-chamber where the murder was done, two fine dints were pointed out in the sculptured nose, which everybody recognised, and which nobody had seen of old; and on the scarce occasions when two or three ragged peasants emerged from the crowd to take a hurried peep at monsieur the marquis petrified, a skinny finger would not have pointed to it for a minute, before they all started away among the moss and leaves, like the more fortunate hares who could find a living there.

two things at once impressed themselves on mr. lorry, as important above all others; the first, that this must be kept secret from lucie; the second, that it must be kept secret from all who knew him. in conjunction with miss pross, he took immediate steps towards the latter precaution, by giving out that the doctor was not well, and required a few days of complete rest. in aid of the kind deception to be practised on his daughter, miss pross was to write, describing his having been called away professionally, and referring to an imaginary letter of two or three hurried lines in his own hand, represented to have been addressed to her by the same post.

in the hope of his recovery, and of resort to this third course being thereby rendered practicable, mr. lorry resolved to watch him attentively, with as little appearance as possible of doing so. he therefore made arrangements to absent himself from tellson's for the first time in his life, and took his post by the window in the same room.

he was not long in discovering that it was worse than useless to speak to him, since, on being pressed, he became worried. he abandoned that attempt on the first day, and resolved merely to keep himself always before him, as a silent protest against the delusion into which he had fallen, or was falling. he remained, therefore, in his seat near the window, reading and writing, and expressing in as many pleasant and natural ways as he could think of, that it was a free place.

on this second day, mr. lorry saluted him cheerfully by his name, and spoke to him on topics that had been of late familiar to them. he returned no reply, but it was evident that he heard what was said, and that he thought about it, however confusedly. this encouraged mr. lorry to have miss pross in with her work, several times during the day; at those times, they quietly spoke of lucie, and of her father then present, precisely in the usual manner, and as if there were nothing amiss. this was done without any demonstrative accompaniment, not long enough, or often enough to harass him; and it lightened mr. lorry's friendly heart to believe that he looked up oftener, and that he appeared to be stirred by some perception of inconsistencies surrounding him.

this time, mr. lorry feigned to go out when he could extract no answer from him, and, after remaining absent for an hour, returned. in the meanwhile, the doctor had removed to the seat in the window, and had sat there looking down at the plane-tree; but, on mr. lorry's return, he slipped away to his bench.

with a hope ever darkening, and with a heart always growing heavier and heavier, mr. lorry passed through this anxious time. the secret was well kept, and lucie was unconscious and happy; but he could not fail to observe that the shoemaker, whose hand had been a little out at first, was growing dreadfully skilful, and that he had never been so intent on his work, and that his hands had never been so nimble and expert, as in the dusk of the ninth evening.

he rubbed his eyes and roused himself; but he doubted, when he had done so, whether he was not still asleep. for, going to the door of the doctor's room and looking in, he perceived that the shoemaker's bench and tools were put aside again, and that the doctor himself sat reading at the window. he was in his usual morning dress, and his face (which mr. lorry could distinctly see), though still very pale, was calmly studious and attentive.

even when he had satisfied himself that he was awake, mr. lorry felt giddily uncertain for some few moments whether the late shoemaking might not be a disturbed dream of his own; for, did not his eyes show him his friend before him in his accustomed clothing and aspect, and employed as usual; and was there any sign within their range, that the change of which he had so strong an impression had actually happened?

“you see,” said doctor manette, turning to him after an uneasy pause, “it is very hard to explain, consistently, the innermost workings of this poor man's mind. he once yearned so frightfully for that occupation, and it was so welcome when it came; no doubt it relieved his pain so much, by substituting the perplexity of the fingers for the perplexity of the brain, and by substituting, as he became more practised, the ingenuity of the hands, for the ingenuity of the mental torture; that he has never been able to bear the thought of putting it quite out of his reach. even now, when i believe he is more hopeful of himself than he has ever been, and even speaks of himself with a kind of confidence, the idea that he might need that old employment, and not find it, gives him a sudden sense of terror, like that which one may fancy strikes to the heart of a lost child.”

even when there were sounds of sorrow among the rest, they were not harsh nor cruel. even when golden hair, like her own, lay in a halo on a pillow round the worn face of a little boy, and he said, with a radiant smile, “dear papa and mamma, i am very sorry to leave you both, and to leave my pretty sister; but i am called, and i must go!” those were not tears all of agony that wetted his young mother's cheek, as the spirit departed from her embrace that had been entrusted to it. suffer them and forbid them not. they see my father's face. o father, blessed words!

thus, the rustling of an angel's wings got blended with the other echoes, and they were not wholly of earth, but had in them that breath of heaven. sighs of the winds that blew over a little garden-tomb were mingled with them also, and both were audible to lucie, in a hushed murmur like the breathing of a summer sea asleep upon a sandy shore as the little lucie, comically studious at the task of the morning, or dressing a doll at her mother's footstool, chattered in the tongues of the two cities that were blended in her life.

the echoes rarely answered to the actual tread of sydney carton. some half-dozen times a year, at most, he claimed his privilege of coming in uninvited, and would sit among them through the evening, as he had once done often. he never came there heated with wine. and one other thing regarding him was whispered in the echoes, which has been whispered by all true echoes for ages and ages.

no man ever really loved a woman, lost her, and knew her with a blameless though an unchanged mind, when she was a wife and a mother, but her children had a strange sympathy with him an instinctive delicacy of pity for him. what fine hidden sensibilities are touched in such a case, no echoes tell; but it is so, and it was so here. carton was the first stranger to whom little lucie held out her chubby arms, and he kept his place with her as she grew. the little boy had spoken of him, almost at the last. “poor carton! kiss him for me!”

mr. stryver shouldered his way through the law, like some great engine forcing itself through turbid water, and dragged his useful friend in his wake, like a boat towed astern. as the boat so favoured is usually in a rough plight, and mostly under water, so, sydney had a swamped life of it. but, easy and strong custom, unhappily so much easier and stronger in him than any stimulating sense of desert or disgrace, made it the life he was to lead; and he no more thought of emerging from his state of lion's jackal, than any real jackal may be supposed to think of rising to be a lion. stryver was rich; had married a florid widow with property and three boys, who had nothing particularly shining about them but the straight hair of their dumpling heads.

so resistless was the force of the ocean bearing him on, that even to draw his breath or turn his head was as impracticable as if he had been struggling in the surf at the south sea, until he was landed in the outer courtyard of the bastille. there, against an angle of a wall, he made a struggle to look about him. jacques three was nearly at his side; madame defarge, still heading some of her women, was visible in the inner distance, and her knife was in her hand. everywhere was tumult, exultation, deafening and maniacal bewilderment, astounding noise, yet furious dumb-show.

of all these cries, and ten thousand incoherences, “the prisoners!” was the cry most taken up by the sea that rushed in, as if there were an eternity of people, as well as of time and space. when the foremost billows rolled past, bearing the prison officers with them, and threatening them all with instant death if any secret nook remained undisclosed, defarge laid his strong hand on the breast of one of these men a man with a grey head, who had a lighted torch in his hand separated him from the rest, and got him between himself and the wall.

jacques three, with his usual craving on him, and evidently disappointed by the dialogue taking a turn that did not seem to promise bloodshed, held by defarge's arm as he held by the turnkey's. their three heads had been close together during this brief discourse, and it had been as much as they could do to hear one another, even then: so tremendous was the noise of the living ocean, in its irruption into the fortress, and its inundation of the courts and passages and staircases. all around outside, too, it beat the walls with a deep, hoarse roar, from which, occasionally, some partial shouts of tumult broke and leaped into the air like spray.

through gloomy vaults where the light of day had never shone, past hideous doors of dark dens and cages, down cavernous flights of steps, and again up steep rugged ascents of stone and brick, more like dry waterfalls than staircases, defarge, the turnkey, and jacques three, linked hand and arm, went with all the speed they could make. here and there, especially at first, the inundation started on them and swept by; but when they had done descending, and were winding and climbing up a tower, they were alone. hemmed in here by the massive thickness of walls and arches, the storm within the fortress and without was only audible to them in a dull, subdued way, as if the noise out of which they had come had almost destroyed their sense of hearing.

there was a small, heavily-grated, unglazed window high in the wall, with a stone screen before it, so that the sky could be only seen by stooping low and looking up. there was a small chimney, heavily barred across, a few feet within. there was a heap of old feathery wood-ashes on the hearth. there was a stool, and table, and a straw bed. there were the four blackened walls, and a rusted iron ring in one of them.

seven prisoners released, seven gory heads on pikes, the keys of the accursed fortress of the eight strong towers, some discovered letters and other memorials of prisoners of old time, long dead of broken hearts, such, and such like, the loudly echoing footsteps of saint antoine escort through the paris streets in mid-july, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine. now, heaven defeat the fancy of lucie darnay, and keep these feet far out of her life! for, they are headlong, mad, and dangerous; and in the years so long after the breaking of the cask at defarge's wine-shop door, they are not easily purified when once stained red.

madame defarge, with her arms folded, sat in the morning light and heat, contemplating the wine-shop and the street. in both, there were several knots of loungers, squalid and miserable, but now with a manifest sense of power enthroned on their distress. the raggedest nightcap, awry on the wretchedest head, had this crooked significance in it: “i know how hard it has grown for me, the wearer of this, to support life in myself; but do you know how easy it has grown for me, the wearer of this, to destroy life in you?” every lean bare arm, that had been without work before, had this work always ready for it now, that it could strike.

not before dark night did the men and women come back to the children, wailing and breadless. then, the miserable bakers' shops were beset by long files of them, patiently waiting to buy bad bread; and while they waited with stomachs faint and empty, they beguiled the time by embracing one another on the triumphs of the day, and achieving them again in gossip. gradually, these strings of ragged people shortened and frayed away; and then poor lights began to shine in high windows, and slender fires were made in the streets, at which neighbours cooked in common, afterwards supping at their doors.

saint antoine slept, the defarges slept: even the vengeance slept with her starved grocer, and the drum was at rest. the drum's was the only voice in saint antoine that blood and hurry had not changed. the vengeance, as custodian of the drum, could have wakened him up and had the same speech out of him as before the bastille fell, or old foulon was seized; not so with the hoarse tones of the men and women in saint antoine's bosom.

there was a change on the village where the fountain fell, and where the mender of roads went forth daily to hammer out of the stones on the highway such morsels of bread as might serve for patches to hold his poor ignorant soul and his poor reduced body together. the prison on the crag was not so dominant as of yore; there were soldiers to guard it, but not many; there were officers to guard the soldiers, but not one of them knew what his men would do beyond this: that it would probably not be what he was ordered.

monseigneur (often a most worthy individual gentleman) was a national blessing, gave a chivalrous tone to things, was a polite example of luxurious and shining life, and a great deal more to equal purpose; nevertheless, monseigneur as a class had, somehow or other, brought things to this. strange that creation, designed expressly for monseigneur, should be so soon wrung dry and squeezed out! there must be something short-sighted in the eternal arrangements, surely! thus it was, however; and the last drop of blood having been extracted from the flints, and the last screw of the rack having been turned so often that its purchase crumbled, and it now turned and turned with nothing to bite, monseigneur began to run away from a phenomenon so low and unaccountable.

but, this was not the change on the village, and on many a village like it. for scores of years gone by, monseigneur had squeezed it and wrung it, and had seldom graced it with his presence except for the pleasures of the chase now, found in hunting the people; now, found in hunting the beasts, for whose preservation monseigneur made edifying spaces of barbarous and barren wilderness. no. the change consisted in the appearance of strange faces of low caste, rather than in the disappearance of the high caste, chiselled, and otherwise beautified and beautifying features of monseigneur.

for, in these times, as the mender of roads worked, solitary, in the dust, not often troubling himself to reflect that dust he was and to dust he must return, being for the most part too much occupied in thinking how little he had for supper and how much more he would eat if he had it in these times, as he raised his eyes from his lonely labour, and viewed the prospect, he would see some rough figure approaching on foot, the like of which was once a rarity in those parts, but was now a frequent presence. as it advanced, the mender of roads would discern without surprise, that it was a shaggy-haired man, of almost barbarian aspect, tall, in wooden shoes that were clumsy even to the eyes of a mender of roads, grim, rough, swart, steeped in the mud and dust of many highways, dank with the marshy moisture of many low grounds, sprinkled with the thorns and leaves and moss of many byways through woods.

as the road-mender plied his dusty labour, and the hail-clouds, rolling away, revealed bright bars and streaks of sky which were responded to by silver gleams upon the landscape, the little man (who wore a red cap now, in place of his blue one) seemed fascinated by the figure on the heap of stones. his eyes were so often turned towards it, that he used his tools mechanically, and, one would have said, to very poor account.

the bronze face, the shaggy black hair and beard, the coarse woollen red cap, the rough medley dress of home-spun stuff and hairy skins of beasts, the powerful frame attenuated by spare living, and the sullen and desperate compression of the lips in sleep, inspired the mender of roads with awe. the traveller had travelled far, and his feet were footsore, and his ankles chafed and bleeding; his great shoes, stuffed with leaves and grass, had been heavy to drag over the many long leagues, and his clothes were chafed into holes, as he himself was into sores. stooping down beside him, the road-mender tried to get a peep at secret weapons in his breast or where not; but, in vain, for he slept with his arms crossed upon him, and set as resolutely as his lips.

when the village had taken its poor supper, it did not creep to bed, as it usually did, but came out of doors again, and remained there. a curious contagion of whispering was upon it, and also, when it gathered together at the fountain in the dark, another curious contagion of looking expectantly at the sky in one direction only. monsieur gabelle, chief functionary of the place, became uneasy; went out on his house-top alone, and looked in that direction too; glanced down from behind his chimneys at the darkening faces by the fountain below, and sent word to the sacristan who kept the keys of the church, that there might be need to ring the tocsin by-and-bye.

the night deepened. the trees environing the old chateau, keeping its solitary state apart, moved in a rising wind, as though they threatened the pile of building massive and dark in the gloom. up the two terrace flights of steps the rain ran wildly, and beat at the great door, like a swift messenger rousing those within; uneasy rushes of wind went through the hall, among the old spears and knives, and passed lamenting up the stairs, and shook the curtains of the bed where the last marquis had slept. east, west, north, and south, through the woods, four heavy-treading, unkempt figures crushed the high grass and cracked the branches, striding on cautiously to come together in the courtyard. four lights broke out there, and moved away in different directions, and all was black again.

a faint murmur arose about the house from the few people who were left there, and there was a saddling of a horse and riding away. there was spurring and splashing through the darkness, and bridle was drawn in the space by the village fountain, and the horse in a foam stood at monsieur gabelle's door. “help, gabelle! help, every one!” the tocsin rang impatiently, but other help (if that were any) there was none. the mender of roads, and two hundred and fifty particular friends, stood with folded arms at the fountain, looking at the pillar of fire in the sky. “it must be forty feet high,” said they, grimly; and never moved.

the rider from the chateau, and the horse in a foam, clattered away through the village, and galloped up the stony steep, to the prison on the crag. at the gate, a group of officers were looking at the fire; removed from them, a group of soldiers. “help, gentlemen officers! the chateau is on fire; valuable objects may be saved from the flames by timely aid! help, help!” the officers looked towards the soldiers who looked at the fire; gave no orders; and answered, with shrugs and biting of lips, “it must burn.”

as the rider rattled down the hill again and through the street, the village was illuminating. the mender of roads, and the two hundred and fifty particular friends, inspired as one man and woman by the idea of lighting up, had darted into their houses, and were putting candles in every dull little pane of glass. the general scarcity of everything, occasioned candles to be borrowed in a rather peremptory manner of monsieur gabelle; and in a moment of reluctance and hesitation on that functionary's part, the mender of roads, once so submissive to authority, had remarked that carriages were good to make bonfires with, and that post-horses would roast.

the chateau was left to itself to flame and burn. in the roaring and raging of the conflagration, a red-hot wind, driving straight from the infernal regions, seemed to be blowing the edifice away. with the rising and falling of the blaze, the stone faces showed as if they were in torment. when great masses of stone and timber fell, the face with the two dints in the nose became obscured: anon struggled out of the smoke again, as if it were the face of the cruel marquis, burning at the stake and contending with the fire.

the chateau burned; the nearest trees, laid hold of by the fire, scorched and shrivelled; trees at a distance, fired by the four fierce figures, begirt the blazing edifice with a new forest of smoke. molten lead and iron boiled in the marble basin of the fountain; the water ran dry; the extinguisher tops of the towers vanished like ice before the heat, and trickled down into four rugged wells of flame. great rents and splits branched out in the solid walls, like crystallisation; stupefied birds wheeled about and dropped into the furnace; four fierce figures trudged away, east, west, north, and south, along the night-enshrouded roads, guided by the beacon they had lighted, towards their next destination. the illuminated village had seized hold of the tocsin, and, abolishing the lawful ringer, rang for joy.

not only that; but the village, light-headed with famine, fire, and bell-ringing, and bethinking itself that monsieur gabelle had to do with the collection of rent and taxes though it was but a small instalment of taxes, and no rent at all, that gabelle had got in those latter days became impatient for an interview with him, and, surrounding his house, summoned him to come forth for personal conference. whereupon, monsieur gabelle did heavily bar his door, and retire to hold counsel with himself. the result of that conference was, that gabelle again withdrew himself to his housetop behind his stack of chimneys; this time resolved, if his door were broken in (he was a small southern man of retaliative temperament), to pitch himself head foremost over the parapet, and crush a man or two below.

probably, monsieur gabelle passed a long night up there, with the distant chateau for fire and candle, and the beating at his door, combined with the joy-ringing, for music; not to mention his having an ill-omened lamp slung across the road before his posting-house gate, which the village showed a lively inclination to displace in his favour.

within a hundred miles, and in the light of other fires, there were other functionaries less fortunate, that night and other nights, whom the rising sun found hanging across once-peaceful streets, where they had been born and bred; also, there were other villagers and townspeople less fortunate than the mender of roads and his fellows, upon whom the functionaries and soldiery turned with success, and whom they strung up in their turn. but, the fierce figures were steadily wending east, west, north, and south, be that as it would; and whosoever hung, fire burned.

monseigneur, as a class, had dissociated himself from the phenomenon of his not being appreciated: of his being so little wanted in france, as to incur considerable danger of receiving his dismissal from it, and this life together. like the fabled rustic who raised the devil with infinite pains, and was so terrified at the sight of him that he could ask the enemy no question, but immediately fled; so, monseigneur, after boldly reading the lord's prayer backwards for a great number of years, and performing many other potent spells for compelling the evil one, no sooner beheld him in his terrors than he took to his noble heels.

the shining bull's eye of the court was gone, or it would have been the mark for a hurricane of national bullets. it had never been a good eye to see with had long had the mote in it of lucifer's pride, sardanapalus's luxury, and a mole's blindness but it had dropped out and was gone. the court, from that exclusive inner circle to its outermost rotten ring of intrigue, corruption, and dissimulation, was all gone together. royalty was gone; had been besieged in its palace and “suspended,” when the last tidings came over.

moreover, it was the spot to which such french intelligence as was most to be relied upon, came quickest. again: tellson's was a munificent house, and extended great liberality to old customers who had fallen from their high estate. again: those nobles who had seen the coming storm in time, and anticipating plunder or confiscation, had made provident remittances to tellson's, were always to be heard of there by their needy brethren. to which it must be added that every new-comer from france reported himself and his tidings at tellson's, almost as a matter of course. for such variety of reasons, tellson's was at that time, as to french intelligence, a kind of high exchange; and this was so well known to the public, and the inquiries made there were in consequence so numerous, that tellson's sometimes wrote the latest news out in a line or so and posted it in the bank windows, for all who ran through temple bar to read.

this dialogue had taken place at mr. lorry's usual desk, with monseigneur swarming within a yard or two of it, boastful of what he would do to avenge himself on the rascal-people before long. it was too much the way of monseigneur under his reverses as a refugee, and it was much too much the way of native british orthodoxy, to talk of this terrible revolution as if it were the only harvest ever known under the skies that had not been sown as if nothing had ever been done, or omitted to be done, that had led to it as if observers of the wretched millions in france, and of the misused and perverted resources that should have made them prosperous, had not seen it inevitably coming, years before, and had not in plain words recorded what they saw. such vapouring, combined with the extravagant plots of monseigneur for the restoration of a state of things that had utterly exhausted itself, and worn out heaven and earth as well as itself, was hard to be endured without some remonstrance by any sane man who knew the truth. and it was such vapouring all about his ears, like a troublesome confusion of blood in his own head, added to a latent uneasiness in his mind, which had already made charles darnay restless, and which still kept him so.

the happiness of his own chosen english home, the necessity of being always actively employed, the swift changes and troubles of the time which had followed on one another so fast, that the events of this week annihilated the immature plans of last week, and the events of the week following made all new again; he knew very well, that to the force of these circumstances he had yielded: not without disquiet, but still without continuous and accumulating resistance. that he had watched the times for a time of action, and that they had shifted and struggled until the time had gone by, and the nobility were trooping from france by every highway and byway, and their property was in course of confiscation and destruction, and their very names were blotting out, was as well known to himself as it could be to any new authority in france that might impeach him for it.

but, he had oppressed no man, he had imprisoned no man; he was so far from having harshly exacted payment of his dues, that he had relinquished them of his own will, thrown himself on a world with no favour in it, won his own private place there, and earned his own bread. monsieur gabelle had held the impoverished and involved estate on written instructions, to spare the people, to give them what little there was to give such fuel as the heavy creditors would let them have in the winter, and such produce as could be saved from the same grip in the summer and no doubt he had put the fact in plea and proof, for his own safety, so that it could not but appear now.

yes. like the mariner in the old story, the winds and streams had driven him within the influence of the loadstone rock, and it was drawing him to itself, and he must go. everything that arose before his mind drifted him on, faster and faster, more and more steadily, to the terrible attraction. his latent uneasiness had been, that bad aims were being worked out in his own unhappy land by bad instruments, and that he who could not fail to know that he was better than they, was not there, trying to do something to stay bloodshed, and assert the claims of mercy and humanity. with this uneasiness half stifled, and half reproaching him, he had been brought to the pointed comparison of himself with the brave old gentleman in whom duty was so strong; upon that comparison (injurious to himself) had instantly followed the sneers of monseigneur, which had stung him bitterly, and those of stryver, which above all were coarse and galling, for old reasons. upon those, had followed gabelle's letter: the appeal of an innocent prisoner, in danger of death, to his justice, honour, and good name.

yes. the loadstone rock was drawing him, and he must sail on, until he struck. he knew of no rock; he saw hardly any danger. the intention with which he had done what he had done, even although he had left it incomplete, presented it before him in an aspect that would be gratefully acknowledged in france on his presenting himself to assert it. then, that glorious vision of doing good, which is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds, arose before him, and he even saw himself in the illusion with some influence to guide this raging revolution that was running so fearfully wild.

the traveller fared slowly on his way, who fared towards paris from england in the autumn of the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two. more than enough of bad roads, bad equipages, and bad horses, he would have encountered to delay him, though the fallen and unfortunate king of france had been upon his throne in all his glory; but, the changed times were fraught with other obstacles than these. every town-gate and village taxing-house had its band of citizen-patriots, with their national muskets in a most explosive state of readiness, who stopped all comers and goers, cross-questioned them, inspected their papers, looked for their names in lists of their own, turned them back, or sent them on, or stopped them and laid them in hold, as their capricious judgment or fancy deemed best for the dawning republic one and indivisible, of liberty, equality, fraternity, or death.

this universal watchfulness not only stopped him on the highway twenty times in a stage, but retarded his progress twenty times in a day, by riding after him and taking him back, riding before him and stopping him by anticipation, riding with him and keeping him in charge. he had been days upon his journey in france alone, when he went to bed tired out, in a little town on the high road, still a long way from paris.

nothing but the production of the afflicted gabelle's letter from his prison of the abbaye would have got him on so far. his difficulty at the guard-house in this small place had been such, that he felt his journey to have come to a crisis. and he was, therefore, as little surprised as a man could be, to find himself awakened at the small inn to which he had been remitted until morning, in the middle of the night.

the escorted governed his own horse, but a loose line was attached to his bridle, the end of which one of the patriots kept girded round his wrist. in this state they set forth with the sharp rain driving in their faces: clattering at a heavy dragoon trot over the uneven town pavement, and out upon the mire-deep roads. in this state they traversed without change, except of horses and pace, all the mire-deep leagues that lay between them and the capital.

he left escort and escorted without saying a word, however, and went into the guard-room; meanwhile, they sat upon their horses outside the gate. looking about him while in this state of suspense, charles darnay observed that the gate was held by a mixed guard of soldiers and patriots, the latter far outnumbering the former; and that while ingress into the city for peasants' carts bringing in supplies, and for similar traffic and traffickers, was easy enough, egress, even for the homeliest people, was very difficult. a numerous medley of men and women, not to mention beasts and vehicles of various sorts, was waiting to issue forth; but, the previous identification was so strict, that they filtered through the barrier very slowly. some of these people knew their turn for examination to be so far off, that they lay down on the ground to sleep or smoke, while others talked together, or loitered about. the red cap and tri-colour cockade were universal, both among men and women.

when he had sat in his saddle some half-hour, taking note of these things, darnay found himself confronted by the same man in authority, who directed the guard to open the barrier. then he delivered to the escort, drunk and sober, a receipt for the escorted, and requested him to dismount. he did so, and the two patriots, leading his tired horse, turned and rode away without entering the city.

he accompanied his conductor into a guard-room, smelling of common wine and tobacco, where certain soldiers and patriots, asleep and awake, drunk and sober, and in various neutral states between sleeping and waking, drunkenness and sobriety, were standing and lying about. the light in the guard-house, half derived from the waning oil-lamps of the night, and half from the overcast day, was in a correspondingly uncertain condition. some registers were lying open on a desk, and an officer of a coarse, dark aspect, presided over these.

charles darnay felt it hopeless to entreat him further, and his pride was touched besides. as they walked on in silence, he could not but see how used the people were to the spectacle of prisoners passing along the streets. the very children scarcely noticed him. a few passers turned their heads, and a few shook their fingers at him as an aristocrat; otherwise, that a man in good clothes should be going to prison, was no more remarkable than that a labourer in working clothes should be going to work. in one narrow, dark, and dirty street through which they passed, an excited orator, mounted on a stool, was addressing an excited audience on the crimes against the people, of the king and the royal family. the few words that he caught from this man's lips, first made it known to charles darnay that the king was in prison, and that the foreign ambassadors had one and all left paris. on the road (except at beauvais) he had heard absolutely nothing. the escort and the universal watchfulness had completely isolated him.

that he had fallen among far greater dangers than those which had developed themselves when he left england, he of course knew now. that perils had thickened about him fast, and might thicken faster and faster yet, he of course knew now. he could not but admit to himself that he might not have made this journey, if he could have foreseen the events of a few days. and yet his misgivings were not so dark as, imagined by the light of this later time, they would appear. troubled as the future was, it was the unknown future, and in its obscurity there was ignorant hope. the horrible massacre, days and nights long, which, within a few rounds of the clock, was to set a great mark of blood upon the blessed garnering time of harvest, was as far out of his knowledge as if it had been a hundred thousand years away. the “sharp female newly-born, and called la guillotine,” was hardly known to him, or to the generality of people, by name. the frightful deeds that were to be soon done, were probably unimagined at that time in the brains of the doers. how could they have a place in the shadowy conceptions of a gentle mind?

so strangely clouded were these refinements by the prison manners and gloom, so spectral did they become in the inappropriate squalor and misery through which they were seen, that charles darnay seemed to stand in a company of the dead. ghosts all! the ghost of beauty, the ghost of stateliness, the ghost of elegance, the ghost of pride, the ghost of frivolity, the ghost of wit, the ghost of youth, the ghost of age, all waiting their dismissal from the desolate shore, all turning on him eyes that were changed by the death they had died in coming there.

it struck him motionless. the gaoler standing at his side, and the other gaolers moving about, who would have been well enough as to appearance in the ordinary exercise of their functions, looked so extravagantly coarse contrasted with sorrowing mothers and blooming daughters who were there with the apparitions of the coquette, the young beauty, and the mature woman delicately bred that the inversion of all experience and likelihood which the scene of shadows presented, was heightened to its utmost. surely, ghosts all. surely, the long unreal ride some progress of disease that had brought him to these gloomy shades!

there were in the cell, a chair, a table, and a straw mattress. as the gaoler made a general inspection of these objects, and of the four walls, before going out, a wandering fancy wandered through the mind of the prisoner leaning against the wall opposite to him, that this gaoler was so unwholesomely bloated, both in face and person, as to look like a man who had been drowned and filled with water. when the gaoler was gone, he thought in the same wandering way, “now am i left, as if i were dead.” stopping then, to look down at the mattress, he turned from it with a sick feeling, and thought, “and here in these crawling creatures is the first condition of the body after death.”

tellson's bank, established in the saint germain quarter of paris, was in a wing of a large house, approached by a courtyard and shut off from the street by a high wall and a strong gate. the house belonged to a great nobleman who had lived in it until he made a flight from the troubles, in his own cook's dress, and got across the borders. a mere beast of the chase flying from hunters, he was still in his metempsychosis no other than the same monseigneur, the preparation of whose chocolate for whose lips had once occupied three strong men besides the cook in question.

monseigneur gone, and the three strong men absolving themselves from the sin of having drawn his high wages, by being more than ready and willing to cut his throat on the altar of the dawning republic one and indivisible of liberty, equality, fraternity, or death, monseigneur's house had been first sequestrated, and then confiscated. for, all things moved so fast, and decree followed decree with that fierce precipitation, that now upon the third night of the autumn month of september, patriot emissaries of the law were in possession of monseigneur's house, and had marked it with the tri-colour, and were drinking brandy in its state apartments.

for, what would staid british responsibility and respectability have said to orange-trees in boxes in a bank courtyard, and even to a cupid over the counter? yet such things were. tellson's had whitewashed the cupid, but he was still to be seen on the ceiling, in the coolest linen, aiming (as he very often does) at money from morning to night. bankruptcy must inevitably have come of this young pagan, in lombard-street, london, and also of a curtained alcove in the rear of the immortal boy, and also of a looking-glass let into the wall, and also of clerks not at all old, who danced in public on the slightest provocation. yet, a french tellson's could get on with these things exceedingly well, and, as long as the times held together, no man had taken fright at them, and drawn out his money.

what money would be drawn out of tellson's henceforth, and what would lie there, lost and forgotten; what plate and jewels would tarnish in tellson's hiding-places, while the depositors rusted in prisons, and when they should have violently perished; how many accounts with tellson's never to be balanced in this world, must be carried over into the next; no man could have said, that night, any more than mr. jarvis lorry could, though he thought heavily of these questions. he sat by a newly-lighted wood fire (the blighted and unfruitful year was prematurely cold), and on his honest and courageous face there was a deeper shade than the pendent lamp could throw, or any object in the room distortedly reflect a shade of horror.

to mr. lorry, the doctor communicated under an injunction of secrecy on which he had no need to dwell, that the crowd had taken him through a scene of carnage to the prison of la force. that, in the prison he had found a self-appointed tribunal sitting, before which the prisoners were brought singly, and by which they were rapidly ordered to be put forth to be massacred, or to be released, or (in a few cases) to be sent back to their cells. that, presented by his conductors to this tribunal, he had announced himself by name and profession as having been for eighteen years a secret and unaccused prisoner in the bastille; that, one of the body so sitting in judgment had risen and identified him, and that this man was defarge.

the sights he had seen there, with brief snatches of food and sleep by intervals, shall remain untold. the mad joy over the prisoners who were saved, had astounded him scarcely less than the mad ferocity against those who were cut to pieces. one prisoner there was, he said, who had been discharged into the street free, but at whom a mistaken savage had thrust a pike as he passed out. being besought to go to him and dress the wound, the doctor had passed out at the same gate, and had found him in the arms of a company of samaritans, who were seated on the bodies of their victims. with an inconsistency as monstrous as anything in this awful nightmare, they had helped the healer, and tended the wounded man with the gentlest solicitude had made a litter for him and escorted him carefully from the spot had then caught up their weapons and plunged anew into a butchery so dreadful, that the doctor had covered his eyes with his hands, and swooned away in the midst of it.

greater things than the doctor had at that time to contend with, would have yielded before his persevering purpose. while he kept himself in his place, as a physician, whose business was with all degrees of mankind, bond and free, rich and poor, bad and good, he used his personal influence so wisely, that he was soon the inspecting physician of three prisons, and among them of la force. he could now assure lucie that her husband was no longer confined alone, but was mixed with the general body of prisoners; he saw her husband weekly, and brought sweet messages to her, straight from his lips; sometimes her husband himself sent a letter to her (though never by the doctor's hand), but she was not permitted to write to him: for, among the many wild suspicions of plots in the prisons, the wildest of all pointed at emigrants who were known to have made friends or permanent connections abroad.

nothing unbecoming tinged the pride; it was a natural and worthy one; but he observed it as a curiosity. the doctor knew, that up to that time, his imprisonment had been associated in the minds of his daughter and his friend, with his personal affliction, deprivation, and weakness.

now that this was changed, and he knew himself to be invested through that old trial with forces to which they both looked for charles's ultimate safety and deliverance, he became so far exalted by the change, that he took the lead and direction, and required them as the weak, to trust to him as the strong. the preceding relative positions of himself and lucie were reversed, yet only as the liveliest gratitude and affection could reverse them, for he could have had no pride but in rendering some service to her who had rendered so much to him. “all curious to see,” thought mr. lorry, in his amiably shrewd way, “but all natural and right; so, take the lead, my dear friend, and keep it; it couldn't be in better hands.”

but, though the doctor tried hard, and never ceased trying, to get charles darnay set at liberty, or at least to get him brought to trial, the public current of the time set too strong and fast for him. the new era began; the king was tried, doomed, and beheaded; the republic of liberty, equality, fraternity, or death, declared for victory or death against the world in arms; the black flag waved night and day from the great towers of notre dame; three hundred thousand men, summoned to rise against the tyrants of the earth, rose from all the varying soils of france, as if the dragon's teeth had been sown broadcast, and had yielded fruit equally on hill and plain, on rock, in gravel, and alluvial mud, under the bright sky of the south and under the clouds of the north, in fell and forest, in the vineyards and the olive-grounds and among the cropped grass and the stubble of the corn, along the fruitful banks of the broad rivers, and in the sand of the sea-shore.

there was no pause, no pity, no peace, no interval of relenting rest, no measurement of time. though days and nights circled as regularly as when time was young, and the evening and morning were the first day, other count of time there was none. hold of it was lost in the raging fever of a nation, as it is in the fever of one patient. now, breaking the unnatural silence of a whole city, the executioner showed the people the head of the king and now, it seemed almost in the same breath, the head of his fair wife which had had eight weary months of imprisoned widowhood and misery, to turn it grey.

and yet, observing the strange law of contradiction which obtains in all such cases, the time was long, while it flamed by so fast. a revolutionary tribunal in the capital, and forty or fifty thousand revolutionary committees all over the land; a law of the suspected, which struck away all security for liberty or life, and delivered over any good and innocent person to any bad and guilty one; prisons gorged with people who had committed no offence, and could obtain no hearing; these things became the established order and nature of appointed things, and seemed to be ancient usage before they were many weeks old.

it was the popular theme for jests; it was the best cure for headache, it infallibly prevented the hair from turning grey, it imparted a peculiar delicacy to the complexion, it was the national razor which shaved close: who kissed la guillotine, looked through the little window and sneezed into the sack. it was the sign of the regeneration of the human race. it superseded the cross. models of it were worn on breasts from which the cross was discarded, and it was bowed down to and believed in where the cross was denied.

it sheared off heads so many, that it, and the ground it most polluted, were a rotten red. it was taken to pieces, like a toy-puzzle for a young devil, and was put together again when the occasion wanted it. it hushed the eloquent, struck down the powerful, abolished the beautiful and good. twenty-two friends of high public mark, twenty-one living and one dead, it had lopped the heads off, in one morning, in as many minutes.

among these terrors, and the brood belonging to them, the doctor walked with a steady head: confident in his power, cautiously persistent in his end, never doubting that he would save lucie's husband at last. yet the current of the time swept by, so strong and deep, and carried the time away so fiercely, that charles had lain in prison one year and three months when the doctor was thus steady and confident. so much more wicked and distracted had the revolution grown in that december month, that the rivers of the south were encumbered with the bodies of the violently drowned by night, and prisoners were shot in lines and squares under the southern wintry sun. still, the doctor walked among the terrors with a steady head. no man better known than he, in paris at that day; no man in a stranger situation. silent, humane, indispensable in hospital and prison, using his art equally among assassins and victims, he was a man apart. in the exercise of his skill, the appearance and the story of the bastille captive removed him from all other men. he was not suspected or brought in question, any more than if he had indeed been recalled to life some eighteen years before, or were a spirit moving among mortals.

then she would run down the cold stone steps and dress herself in her short skirt and her cap and apron, and begin the day's work. she swept the rooms and made the breakfast, she washed the dishes and she scoured the pans, and all this she did because she was a real princess. for of all who should have served her, only one remained faithful her old nurse, who had lived with her in the tower all the princess's life. and, now the nurse was old and feeble, the princess would not let her work any more, but did all the housework herself, while nurse sat still and did the sewing, because this was a real princess with skin like milk and hair like flax and a heart like gold.

"good sport," said the prince, and he ordered out his pack of hippopotamuses at once. it was his custom to hunt big game with hippopotamuses, and people would not have minded that so much but he would swagger about in the streets of the town with his pack yelping and gamboling at his heels, and when he did that, the green-grocer, who had his stall in the marketplace, always regretted it; and the crockery merchant, who spread his wares on the pavement, was ruined for life every time the prince chose to show off his pack.

the prince rode out of the town with his hippopotamuses trotting and frisking behind him, and people got inside their houses as quickly as they could when they heard the voices of his pack and the blowing of his horn. the pack squeezed through the town gates and off across country to hunt the dragon. few of you who had not seen a pack of hippopotamuses in full cry will be able to imagine at all what the hunt was like. to begin with, hippopotamuses do not bay like hounds: they grunt like pigs, and their grunt is very big and fierce. then, of course, no one expects hippopotamuses to jump. they just crash through the hedges and lumber through the standing corn, doing serious injury to the crops, and annoying the farmers very much. all the hippopotamuses had collars with their name and address on, but when the farmers called at the palace to complain of the injury to their standing crops, the prince always said it served them right for leaving their crops standing about in people's way, and he never paid anything at all.

"the hunt is up!" cried the prince. and indeed it was. for the dragon instead of behaving as a quarry should, and running away ran straight at the pack, and the prince, on his elephant, had the mortification of seeing his prize pack swallowed up one by one in the twinkling of an eye, by the dragon they had come out to hunt. the dragon swallowed all the hippopotamuses just as a dog swallows bits of meat. it was a shocking sight. of the whole of the pack that had come out sporting so merrily to the music of the horn, now not even a puppy-hippopotamus was left, and the dragon was looking anxiously around to see if he had forgotten anything.

the prince slipped off his elephant on the other side and ran into the thickest part of the wood. he hoped the dragon could not break through the bushes there, since they were very strong and close. he went crawling on hands and knees in a most un-prince-like way, and at last, finding a hollow tree, he crept into it. the wood was very still no crashing of branches and no smell of burning came to alarm the prince.

the prince and princess rule the land well and wisely. the nurse lives with them, and does nothing but fine sewing, and only that when she wants to very much. the prince keeps no hippopotamuses, and is consequently very popular. the five and seventy devoted pigs live in white marble sties with brass knockers and pig on the doorplate, and are washed twice a day with turkish sponges and soap scented with violets, and no one objects to their following the prince when he walks abroad, for they behave beautifully, and always keep to the footpath, and obey the notices about not walking on the grass. the princess feeds them every day with her own hands, and her first edict on coming to the throne was that the word pork should never be uttered on pain of death, and should, besides, be scratched out of all the dictionaries.

edmund lived with his grandmother. she loved him very much, in spite of his inquiring mind, and hardly scolded him at all when he frizzled up her tortoiseshell comb in his anxiety to find out whether it was made of real tortoiseshell or of something that would burn. edmund went to school, of course, now and then, and sometimes he could not prevent himself from learning something, but he never did it on purpose.

other boys played truant too, of course and these went nutting or blackberrying or wild plum gathering, but edmund never went on the side of the town where the green woods and hedges grew. he always went up the mountain where the great rocks were, and the tall, dark pine trees, and where other people were afraid to go because of the strange noises that came out of the caves.

presently he sat down in the biggest cave and listened very carefully, and it seemed to him that he could distinguish three different sorts of noises. there was a heavy rumbling sound, like a very large old gentleman asleep after dinner; and there was a smaller sort of rumble going on at the same time; and there was a sort of crowing, clucking sound, such as a chicken might make if it happened to be as big as a haystack.

"it seems to me," said edmund to himself, "that the clucking is nearer than the others." so he started up again and explored the caves once more. he found out nothing, but about halfway up the wall of the cave, he saw a hole. and, being a boy, he climbed up to it and crept in; and it was the entrance to a rocky passage. and now the clucking sounded more plainly than before, and he could hardly hear the rumbling at all.

the next moment edmund turned a corner and found himself in front of a rocky door. the door was ajar. he went in, and there was a round cave, like the dome of st. paul's. in the middle of the cave was a hole like a very big hand-washing basin, and in the middle of the basin edmund saw a large pale person sitting.

"i'll light your fire for you." and off he went, and in a few minutes he came back with a great armful of sticks from the pine trees outside, and with these and a lesson book or two that he had forgotten to lose before, and which, quite by an oversight, were safe in his pocket, he lit a fire all around the cockatrice. the wood blazed up, and presently something in the basin caught fire, and edmund saw that it was a sort of liquid that burned like the brandy in a snapdragon. and now the cockatrice stirred it with his tail and flapped his wings in it so that some of it splashed out on edmund's hand and burnt it rather badly. but the cockatrice grew red and strong and happy, and its comb grew scarlet, and its feathers glossy, and it lifted itself up and crowed "cock-a-trice-a-doodle-doo!" very loudly and clearly.

so while the master was writing lying is very wrong, and liars must be caned. it is all for their own good on the black-board for edmund to copy out seven hundred times, edmund sneaked out of school and ran for his life across the town to warn his granny, but she was not at home. so then he made off through the back door of the town, and raced up the hill to tell the cockatrice and ask for his help. it never occurred to him that the cockatrice might not believe him. you see, he had heard so many wonderful tales from him and had believed them all and when you believe all a person's stories they ought to believe yours. this is only fair.

at the mouth of the cockatrice's cave edmund stopped, very much out of breath, to look back at the town. as he ran he had felt his little legs tremble and shake, while the shadows of the great yellow cloud fell upon him. now he stood once more between warm earth and blue sky, and looked down on the green plain dotted with fruit trees and red-roofed farms and plots of gold corn. in the middle of that plain the gray town lay, with its strong walls with the holes pierced for the archers, and its square towers with holes for dropping melted lead on the heads of strangers; its bridges and its steeples; the quiet river edged with willow and alder; and the pleasant green garden place in the middle of the town, where people sat on holidays to smoke their pipes and listen to the band.

"he'll jolly well have to believe it soon, anyhow," said edmund to himself, and though he was a very tender-hearted boy i think it only fair to tell you that he was this i am afraid he was not as sorry as he ought to have been to think of the way in which his master was going to learn how to believe what edmund said. then the dragon opened her jaws wider and wider and wider. edmund shut his eyes, for though his master was in the town, the amiable edmund shrank from beholding the awful sight.

though he had played truant so often, he knew one or two things that perhaps you don't know, though you have always been so good and gone to school regularly. for instance, he knew that a drakling is a dragon's baby, and he felt sure that what he had to do was to find the third of the three noises that people used to hear coming from the mountains. of course, the clucking had been the cockatrice, and the big noise like a large gentleman asleep after dinner had been the big dragon. so the smaller rumbling must have been the drakling.

he plunged boldly into the caves and searched and wandered and wandered and searched, and at last he came to a third door in the mountain, and on it was written the baby is asleep. just before the door stood fifty pairs of copper shoes, and no one could have looked at them for a moment without seeing what sort of feet they were made for, for each shoe had five holes in it for the drakling's five claws. and there were fifty pairs because the drakling took after his mother, and had a hundred feet no more and no less. he was the kind called draco centipedis in the learned books.

the cockatrice beckoned edmund to the side of the basin and whispered in his ear so long and so earnestly that one side of the dear boy's hair was quite burnt off. and he never once interrupted the cockatrice to ask why. but when the whispering was over, edmund whose heart, as i may have mentioned, was very tender said to the drakling: "if you are really hungry, poor thing, i can show you where there is plenty of fire." and off he went through the caves, and the drakling followed.

"dear me," said the dragon. "i thought the town stuck in my throat rather. i must take it out, and look through it more carefully." and with that she coughed and choked and there was the town, on the hillside.

so before the dragon had time to look through the town again for her drakling, the voice of the drakling itself was heard howling miserably from inside the mountain, because edmund was pinching its tail as hard as he could in the round iron door, like the one where the men pour the coals out of the sacks into the cellar. and the dragon heard the voice and said: "why, whatever's the matter with baby? he's not here!" and made herself thin, and crept into the mountain to find her drakling. the cockatrice kept on laughing as loud as it could, and edmund kept on pinching, and presently the great dragon very long and narrow she had made herself found her head where the round hole was with the iron lid.

then he loosed the drakling's tail from the hook, and the dragon peeped down the hole just in time to see her drakling's tail disappear down the smooth, slanting shaft with one last squeak of pain. whatever may have been the poor dragon's other faults, she was an excellent mother. she plunged headfirst into the hole, and slid down the shaft after her baby.

edmund watched her head go and then the rest of her. she was so long, now she had stretched herself thin, that it took all night. it was like watching a goods train go by in germany. when the last joint of her tail had gone edmund slammed down the iron door. he was a kindhearted boy, as you have guessed, and he was glad to think that dragon and drakling would now have plenty to eat of their favorite food, forever and ever.

he thanked the cockatrice for his kindness, and got home just in time to have breakfast and get to school by nine. of course, he could not have done this if the town had been in its old place by the river in the middle of the plain, but it had taken root on the hillside just where the dragon left it.

only one good thing came of all this long story. edmund has never been quite the same boy since. he does not argue quite so much, and he agreed to be apprenticed to a locksmith, so that he might one day be able to pick the lock of the cockatrice's front door and learn some more of the things that other people don't know.

one afternoon of a cold winter's day, when the sun shone forth with chilly brightness, after a long storm, two children asked leave of their mother to run out and play in the new-fallen snow. the elder child was a little girl, whom, because she was of a tender and modest disposition, and was thought to be very beautiful, her parents, and other people who were familiar with her, used to call violet. but her brother was known by the style and title of peony, on account of the ruddiness of his broad and round little phiz, which made everybody think of sunshine and great scarlet flowers. the father of these two children, a certain mr. lindsey, it is important to say, was an excellent but exceedingly matter-of-fact sort of man, a dealer in hardware, and was sturdily accustomed to take what is called the common-sense view of all matters that came under his consideration.

with a heart about as tender as other people's, he had a head as hard and impenetrable, and therefore, perhaps, as empty, as one of the iron pots which it was a part of his business to sell. the mother's character, on the other hand, had a strain of poetry in it, a trait of unworldly beauty, a delicate and dewy flower, as it were, that had survived out of her imaginative youth, and still kept itself alive amid the dusty realities of matrimony and motherhood.

so, violet and peony, as i began with saying, besought their mother to let them run out and play in the new snow; for, though it had looked so dreary and dismal, drifting downward out of the gray sky, it had a very cheerful aspect, now that the sun was shining on it. the children dwelt in a city, and had no wider play-place than a little garden before the house, divided by a white fence from the street, and with a pear-tree and two or three plum-trees overshadowing it, and some rose-bushes just in front of the parlor-windows. the trees and shrubs, however, were now leafless, and their twigs were enveloped in the light snow, which thus made a kind of wintry foliage, with here and there a pendent icicle for the fruit.

accordingly, the good lady bundled up her darlings in woollen jackets and wadded sacks, and put comforters round their necks, and a pair of striped gaiters on each little pair of legs, and worsted mittens on their hands, and gave them a kiss apiece, by way of a spell to keep away jack frost. forth sallied the two children, with a hop-skip-and-jump, that carried them at once into the very heart of a huge snow-drift, whence violet emerged like a snow-bunting, while little peony floundered out with his round face in full bloom. then what a merry time had they! to look at them, frolicking in the wintry garden, you would have thought that the dark and pitiless storm had been sent for no other purpose but to provide a new plaything for violet and peony; and that they themselves had beer created, as the snow-birds were, to take delight only in the tempest, and in the white mantle which it spread over the earth.

and forthwith the children began this great business of making a snow-image that should run about; while their mother, who was sitting at the window and overheard some of their talk, could not help smiling at the gravity with which they set about it. they really seemed to imagine that there would be no difficulty whatever in creating a live little girl out of the snow. and, to say the truth, if miracles are ever to be wrought, it will be by putting our hands to the work in precisely such a simple and undoubting frame of mind as that in which violet and peony now undertook to perform one, without so much as knowing that it was a miracle. so thought the mother; and thought, likewise, that the new snow, just fallen from heaven, would be excellent material to make new beings of, if it were not so very cold.

she gazed at the children a moment longer, delighting to watch their little figures, the girl, tall for her age, graceful and agile, and so delicately colored that she looked like a cheerful thought more than a physical reality; while peony expanded in breadth rather than height, and rolled along on his short and sturdy legs as substantial as an elephant, though not quite so big. then the mother resumed her work.

indeed, it was an exceedingly pleasant sight, those bright little souls at their task! moreover, it was really wonderful to observe how knowingly and skilfully they managed the matter. violet assumed the chief direction, and told peony what to do, while, with her own delicate fingers, she shaped out all the nicer parts of the snow-figure. it seemed, in fact, not so much to be made by the children, as to grow up under their hands, while they were playing and prattling about it. their mother was quite surprised at this; and the longer she looked, the more and more surprised she grew.

so she took up the frock, and was soon as busily at work again with her needle as the two children with their snow-image. but still, as the needle travelled hither and thither through the seams of the dress, the mother made her toil light and happy by listening to the airy voices of violet and peony. they kept talking to one another all the time, their tongues being quite as active as their feet and hands. except at intervals, she could not distinctly hear what was said, but had merely a sweet impression that they were in a most loving mood, and were enjoying themselves highly, and that the business of making the snow-image went prosperously on. now and then, however, when violet and peony happened to raise their voices, the words were as audible as if they had been spoken in the very parlor where the mother sat. oh how delightfully those words echoed in her heart, even though they meant nothing so very wise or wonderful, after all!

there was a minute or two of silence; for peony, whose short legs were never weary, had gone on a pilgrimage again to the other side of the garden. all of a sudden, violet cried out, loudly and joyfully, "look here, peony! come quickly! a light has been shining on her cheek out of that rose-colored cloud! and the color does not go away! is not that beautiful!"

just then, there came a breeze of the pure west-wind, sweeping through the garden and rattling the parlor-windows. it sounded so wintry cold, that the mother was about to tap on the window-pane with her thimbled finger, to summon the two children in, when they both cried out to her with one voice. the tone was not a tone of surprise, although they were evidently a good deal excited; it appeared rather as if they were very much rejoiced at some event that had now happened, but which they had been looking for, and had reckoned upon all along.

the mother, being thus entreated, could no longer delay to look forth from the window. the sun was now gone out of the sky, leaving, however, a rich inheritance of his brightness among those purple and golden clouds which make the sunsets of winter so magnificent. but there was not the slightest gleam or dazzle, either on the window or on the snow; so that the good lady could look all over the garden, and see everything and everybody in it. and what do you think she saw there?

violet and peony, of course, her own two darling children. ah, but whom or what did she see besides? why, if you will believe me, there was a small figure of a girl, dressed all in white, with rose-tinged cheeks and ringlets of golden hue, playing about the garden with the two children! a stranger though she was, the child seemed to be on as familiar terms with violet and peony, and they with her, as if all the three had been playmates during the whole of their little lives. the mother thought to herself that it must certainly be the daughter of one of the neighbors, and that, seeing violet and peony in the garden, the child had run across the street to play with them. so this kind lady went to the door, intending to invite the little runaway into her comfortable parlor; for, now that the sunshine was withdrawn, the atmosphere, out of doors, was already growing very cold.

but, after opening the house-door, she stood an instant on the threshold, hesitating whether she ought to ask the child to come in, or whether she should even speak to her. indeed, she almost doubted whether it were a real child after all, or only a light wreath of the new-fallen snow, blown hither and thither about the garden by the intensely cold west-wind. there was certainly something very singular in the aspect of the little stranger. among all the children of the neighborhood, the lady could remember no such face, with its pure white, and delicate rose-color, and the golden ringlets tossing about the forehead and cheeks. and as for her dress, which was entirely of white, and fluttering in the breeze, it was such as no reasonable woman would put upon a little girl, when sending her out to play, in the depth of winter. it made this kind and careful mother shiver only to look at those small feet, with nothing in the world on them, except a very thin pair of white slippers. nevertheless, airily as she was clad, the child seemed to feel not the slightest inconvenience from the cold, but danced so lightly over the snow that the tips of her toes left hardly a print in its surface; while violet could but just keep pace with her, and peony's short legs compelled him to lag behind.

once, in the course of their play, the strange child placed herself between violet and peony, and taking a hand of each, skipped merrily forward, and they along with her. almost immediately, however, peony pulled away his little fist, and began to rub it as if the fingers were tingling with cold; while violet also released herself, though with less abruptness, gravely remarking that it was better not to take hold of hands. the white-robed damsel said not a word, but danced about, just as merrily as before. if violet and peony did not choose to play with her, she could make just as good a playmate of the brisk and cold west-wind, which kept blowing her all about the garden, and took such liberties with her, that they seemed to have been friends for a long time. all this while, the mother stood on the threshold, wondering how a little girl could look so much like a flying snow-drift, or how a snow-drift could look so very like a little girl.

at this instant a flock of snow-birds came flitting through the air. as was very natural, they avoided violet and peony. but and this looked strange they flew at once to the white-robed child, fluttered eagerly about her head, alighted on her shoulders, and seemed to claim her as an old acquaintance. she, on her part, was evidently as glad to see these little birds, old winter's grandchildren, as they were to see her, and welcomed them by holding out both her hands. hereupon, they each and all tried to alight on her two palms and ten small fingers and thumbs, crowding one another off, with an immense fluttering of their tiny wings. one dear little bird nestled tenderly in her bosom; another put its bill to her lips. they were as joyous, all the while, and seemed as much in their element, as you may have seen them when sporting with a snow-storm.

as he approached, the snow-birds took to flight. the little white damsel, also, fled backward, shaking her head, as if to say, "pray, do not touch me!" and roguishly, as it appeared, leading him through the deepest of the snow. once, the good man stumbled, and floundered down upon his face, so that, gathering himself up again, with the snow sticking to his rough pilot-cloth sack, he looked as white and wintry as a snow-image of the largest size. some of the neighbors, meanwhile, seeing him from their windows, wondered what could possess poor mr.

lindsey to be running about his garden in pursuit of a snow-drift, which the west-wind was driving hither and thither! at length, after a vast deal of trouble, he chased the little stranger into a corner, where she could not possibly escape him. his wife had been looking on, and, it being nearly twilight, was wonder-struck to observe how the snow-child gleamed and sparkled, and how she seemed to shed a glow all round about her; and when driven into the corner, she positively glistened like a star! it was a frosty kind of brightness, too, like that of an icicle in the moonlight. the wife thought it strange that good mr. lindsey should see nothing remarkable in the snow-child's appearance.

and so, with a most benevolent smile on his sagacious visage, all purple as it was with the cold, this very well-meaning gentleman took the snow-child by the hand and led her towards the house. she followed him, droopingly and reluctant; for all the glow and sparkle was gone out of her figure; and whereas just before she had resembled a bright, frosty, star-gemmed evening, with a crimson gleam on the cold horizon, she now looked as dull and languid as a thaw. as kind mr. lindsey led her up the steps of the door, violet and peony looked into his face, their eyes full of tears, which froze before they could run down their cheeks, and again entreated him not to bring their snow-image into the house.

without further talk, and always with the same best intentions, this highly benevolent and common-sensible individual led the little white damsel drooping, drooping, drooping, more and more out of the frosty air, and into his comfortable parlor. a heidenberg stove, filled to the brim with intensely burning anthracite, was sending a bright gleam through the isinglass of its iron door, and causing the vase of water on its top to fume and bubble with excitement. a warm, sultry smell was diffused throughout the room. a thermometer on the wall farthest from the stove stood at eighty degrees. the parlor was hung with red curtains, and covered with a red carpet, and looked just as warm as it felt. the difference betwixt the atmosphere here and the cold, wintry twilight out of doors, was like stepping at once from nova zembla to the hottest part of india, or from the north pole into an oven. oh, this was a fine place for the little white stranger!

this, you will observe, was one of those rare cases, which yet will occasionally happen, where common-sense finds itself at fault. the remarkable story of the snow-image, though to that sagacious class of people to whom good mr. lindsey belongs it may seem but a childish affair, is, nevertheless, capable of being moralized in various methods, greatly for their edification. one of its lessons, for instance, might be, that it behooves men, and especially men of benevolence, to consider well what they are about, and, before acting on their philanthropic purposes, to be quite sure that they comprehend the nature and all the relations of the business in hand. what has been established as an element of good to one being may prove absolute mischief to another; even as the warmth of the parlor was proper enough for children of flesh and blood, like violet and peony, though by no means very wholesome, even for them, but involved nothing short of annihilation to the unfortunate snow-image.

embosomed amongst a family of lofty mountains, there was a valley so spacious that it contained many thousand inhabitants. some of these good people dwelt in log-huts, with the black forest all around them, on the steep and difficult hill-sides. others had their homes in comfortable farm-houses, and cultivated the rich soil on the gentle slopes or level surfaces of the valley. others, again, were congregated into populous villages, where some wild, highland rivulet, tumbling down from its birthplace in the upper mountain region, had been caught and tamed by human cunning, and compelled to turn the machinery of cotton-factories. the inhabitants of this valley, in short, were numerous, and of many modes of life. but all of them, grown people and children, had a kind of familiarity with the great stone face, although some possessed the gift of distinguishing this grand natural phenomenon more perfectly than many of their neighbors.

the great stone face, then, was a work of nature in her mood of majestic playfulness, formed on the perpendicular side of a mountain by some immense rocks, which had been thrown together in such a position as, when viewed at a proper distance, precisely to resemble the features of the human countenance. it seemed as if an enormous giant, or a titan, had sculptured his own likeness on the precipice. there was the broad arch of the forehead, a hundred feet in height; the nose, with its long bridge; and the vast lips, which, if they could have spoken, would have rolled their thunder accents from one end of the valley to the other. true it is, that if the spectator approached too near, he lost the outline of the gigantic visage, and could discern only a heap of ponderous and gigantic rocks, piled in chaotic ruin one upon another. retracing his steps, however, the wondrous features would again be seen; and the farther he withdrew from them, the more like a human face, with all its original divinity intact, did they appear; until, as it grew dim in the distance, with the clouds and glorified vapor of the mountains clustering about it, the great stone face seemed positively to be alive.

so his mother told him a story that her own mother had told to her, when she herself was younger than little ernest; a story, not of things that were past, but of what was yet to come; a story, nevertheless, so very old, that even the indians, who formerly inhabited this valley, had heard it from their forefathers, to whom, as they affirmed, it had been murmured by the mountain streams, and whispered by the wind among the tree-tops. the purport was, that, at some future day, a child should be born hereabouts, who was destined to become the greatest and noblest personage of his time, and whose countenance, in manhood, should bear an exact resemblance to the great stone face. not a few old-fashioned people, and young ones likewise, in the ardor of their hopes, still cherished an enduring faith in this old prophecy. but others, who had seen more of the world, had watched and waited till they were weary, and had beheld no man with such a face, nor any man that proved to be much greater or nobler than his neighbors, concluded it to be nothing but an idle tale. at all events, the great man of the prophecy had not yet appeared.

and ernest never forgot the story that his mother told him. it was always in his mind, whenever he looked upon the great stone face. he spent his childhood in the log-cottage where he was born, and was dutiful to his mother, and helpful to her in many things, assisting her much with his little hands, and more with his loving heart. in this manner, from a happy yet often pensive child, he grew up to be a mild, quiet, unobtrusive boy, and sun-browned with labor in the fields, but with more intelligence brightening his aspect than is seen in many lads who have been taught at famous schools. yet ernest had had no teacher, save only that the great stone face became one to him. when the toil of the day was over, he would gaze at it for hours, until he began to imagine that those vast features recognized him, and gave him a smile of kindness and encouragement, responsive to his own look of veneration. we must not take upon us to affirm that this was a mistake, although the face may have looked no more kindly at ernest than at all the world besides. but the secret was that the boy's tender and confiding simplicity discerned what other people could not see; and thus the love, which was meant for all, became his peculiar portion.

about this time there went a rumor throughout the valley, that the great man, foretold from ages long ago, who was to bear a resemblance to the great stone face, had appeared at last. it seems that, many years before, a young man had migrated from the valley and settled at a distant seaport, where, after getting together a little money, he had set up as a shopkeeper. his name but i could never learn whether it was his real one, or a nickname that had grown out of his habits and success in life was gathergold. being shrewd and active, and endowed by providence with that inscrutable faculty which develops itself in what the world calls luck, he became an exceedingly rich merchant, and owner of a whole fleet of bulky-bottomed ships. all the countries of the globe appeared to join hands for the mere purpose of adding heap after heap to the mountainous accumulation of this one man's wealth.

the cold regions of the north, almost within the gloom and shadow of the arctic circle, sent him their tribute in the shape of furs; hot africa sifted for him the golden sands of her rivers, and gathered up the ivory tusks of her great elephants out of the forests; the east came bringing him the rich shawls, and spices, and teas, and the effulgence of diamonds, and the gleaming purity of large pearls. the ocean, not to be behindhand with the earth, yielded up her mighty whales, that mr. gathergold might sell their oil, and make a profit of it. be the original commodity what it might, it was gold within his grasp. it might be said of him, as of midas in the fable, that whatever he touched with his finger immediately glistened, and grew yellow, and was changed at once into sterling metal, or, which suited him still better, into piles of coin. and, when mr. gathergold had become so very rich that it would have taken him a hundred years only to count his wealth, he bethought himself of his native valley, and resolved to go back thither, and end his days where he was born. with this purpose in view, he sent a skilful architect to build him such a palace as should be fit for a man of his vast wealth to live in.

as i have said above, it had already been rumored in the valley that mr. gathergold had turned out to be the prophetic personage so long and vainly looked for, and that his visage was the perfect and undeniable similitude of the great stone face. people were the more ready to believe that this must needs be the fact, when they beheld the splendid edifice that rose, as if by enchantment, on the site of his father's old weatherbeaten farm-house. the exterior was of marble, so dazzlingly white that it seemed as though the whole structure might melt away in the sunshine, like those humbler ones which mr. gathergold, in his young play-days, before his fingers were gifted with the touch of transmutation, had been accustomed to build of snow. it had a richly ornamented portico, supported by tall pillars, beneath which was a lofty door, studded with silver knobs, and made of a kind of variegated wood that had been brought from beyond the sea. the windows, from the floor to the ceiling of each stately apartment, were composed, respectively, of but one enormous pane of glass, so transparently pure that it was said to be a finer medium than even the vacant atmosphere.

hardly anybody had been permitted to see the interior of this palace; but it was reported, and with good semblance of truth, to be far more gorgeous than the outside, insomuch that whatever was iron or brass in other houses was silver or gold in this; and mr. gathergold's bedchamber, especially, made such a glittering appearance that no ordinary man would have been able to close his eyes there. but, on the other hand, mr. gathergold was now so inured to wealth, that perhaps he could not have closed his eyes unless where the gleam of it was certain to find its way beneath his eyelids.

in due time, the mansion was finished; next came the upholsterers, with magnificent furniture; then, a whole troop of black and white servants, the harbingers of mr. gathergold, who, in his own majestic person, was expected to arrive at sunset. our friend ernest, meanwhile, had been deeply stirred by the idea that the great man, the noble man, the man of prophecy, after so many ages of delay, was at length to be made manifest to his native valley. he knew, boy as he was, that there were a thousand ways in which mr. gathergold, with his vast wealth, might transform himself into an angel of beneficence, and assume a control over human affairs as wide and benignant as the smile of the great stone face. full of faith and hope, ernest doubted not that what the people said was true, and that now he was to behold the living likeness of those wondrous features on the mountain-side. while the boy was still gazing up the valley, and fancying, as he always did, that the great stone face returned his gaze and looked kindly at him, the rumbling of wheels was heard, approaching swiftly along the winding road.

within it, thrust partly out of the window, appeared the physiognomy of the old man, with a skin as yellow as if his own midas-hand had transmuted it. he had a low forehead, small, sharp eyes, puckered about with innumerable wrinkles, and very thin lips, which he made still thinner by pressing them forcibly together.

and, what greatly perplexed ernest, they seemed actually to believe that here was the likeness which they spoke of. by the roadside there chanced to be an old beggar-woman and two little beggar-children, stragglers from some far-off region, who, as the carriage rolled onward, held out their hands and lifted up their doleful voices, most piteously beseeching charity. a yellow claw the very same that had clawed together so much wealth poked itself out of the coach-window, and dropt some copper coins upon the ground; so that, though the great man's name seems to have been gathergold, he might just as suitably have been nicknamed scattercopper. still, nevertheless, with an earnest shout, and evidently with as much good faith as ever, the people bellowed, "he is the very image of the great stone face!"

but ernest turned sadly from the wrinkled shrewdness of that sordid visage, and gazed up the valley, where, amid a gathering mist, gilded by the last sunbeams, he could still distinguish those glorious features which had impressed themselves into his soul. their aspect cheered him. what did the benign lips seem to say?

the years went on, and ernest ceased to be a boy. he had grown to be a young man now. he attracted little notice from the other inhabitants of the valley; for they saw nothing remarkable in his way of life save that, when the labor of the day was over, he still loved to go apart and gaze and meditate upon the great stone face. according to their idea of the matter, it was a folly, indeed, but pardonable, inasmuch as ernest was industrious, kind, and neighborly, and neglected no duty for the sake of indulging this idle habit. they knew not that the great stone face had become a teacher to him, and that the sentiment which was expressed in it would enlarge the young man's heart, and fill it with wider and deeper sympathies than other hearts. they knew not that thence would come a better wisdom than could be learned from books, and a better life than could be moulded on the defaced example of other human lives. neither did ernest know that the thoughts and affections which came to him so naturally, in the fields and at the fireside, and wherever he communed with himself, were of a higher tone than those which all men shared with him. a simple soul, simple as when his mother first taught him the old prophecy, he beheld the marvellous features beaming adown the valley, and still wondered that their human counterpart was so long in making his appearance.

by this time poor mr. gathergold was dead and buried; and the oddest part of the matter was, that his wealth, which was the body and spirit of his existence, had disappeared before his death, leaving nothing of him but a living skeleton, covered over with a wrinkled yellow skin.

since the melting away of his gold, it had been very generally conceded that there was no such striking resemblance, after all, betwixt the ignoble features of the ruined merchant and that majestic face upon the mountain-side. so the people ceased to honor him during his lifetime, and quietly consigned him to forgetfulness after his decease. once in a while, it is true, his memory was brought up in connection with the magnificent palace which he had built, and which had long ago been turned into a hotel for the accommodation of strangers, multitudes of whom came, every summer, to visit that famous natural curiosity, the great stone face. thus, mr. gathergold being discredited and thrown into the shade, the man of prophecy was yet to come.

it so happened that a native-born son of the valley, many years before, had enlisted as a soldier, and, after a great deal of hard fighting, had now become an illustrious commander. whatever he may be called in history, he was known in camps and on the battle-field under the nickname of old blood-and-thunder. this war-worn veteran being now infirm with age and wounds, and weary of the turmoil of a military life, and of the roll of the drum and the clangor of the trumpet, that had so long been ringing in his ears, had lately signified a purpose of returning to his native valley, hoping to find repose where he remembered to have left it. the inhabitants, his old neighbors and their grown-up children, were resolved to welcome the renowned warrior with a salute of cannon and a public dinner; and all the more enthusiastically, it being affirmed that now, at last, the likeness of the great stone face had actually appeared. an aid-de-camp of old blood-and-thunder, travelling through the valley, was said to have been struck with the resemblance. moreover the schoolmates and early acquaintances of the general were ready to testify, on oath, that, to the best of their recollection, the aforesaid general had been exceedingly like the majestic image, even when a boy, only the idea had never occurred to them at that period. great, therefore, was the excitement throughout the valley; and many people, who had never once thought of glancing at the great stone face for years before, now spent their time in gazing at it, for the sake of knowing exactly how general blood-and-thunder looked.

battleblast was heard, beseeching a blessing on the good things set before them, and on the distinguished friend of peace in whose honor they were assembled. the tables were arranged in a cleared space of the woods, shut in by the surrounding trees, except where a vista opened eastward, and afforded a distant view of the great stone face. over the general's chair, which was a relic from the home of washington, there was an arch of verdant boughs, with the laurel profusely intermixed, and surmounted by his country's banner, beneath which he had won his victories. our friend ernest raised himself on his tiptoes, in hopes to get a glimpse of the celebrated guest; but there was a mighty crowd about the tables anxious to hear the toasts and speeches, and to catch any word that might fall from the general in reply; and a volunteer company, doing duty as a guard, pricked ruthlessly with their bayonets at any particularly quiet person among the throng. so ernest, being of an unobtrusive character, was thrust quite into the background, where he could see no more of old blood-and-thunder's physiognomy than if it had been still blazing on the battle-field. to console himself, he turned towards the great stone face, which, like a faithful and long remembered friend, looked back and smiled upon him through the vista of the forest. meantime, however, he could overhear the remarks of various individuals, who were comparing the features of the hero with the face on the distant mountain-side.

and then all three of the speakers gave a great shout, which communicated electricity to the crowd, and called forth a roar from a thousand voices, that went reverberating for miles among the mountains, until you might have supposed that the great stone face had poured its thunderbreath into the cry. all these comments, and this vast enthusiasm, served the more to interest our friend; nor did he think of questioning that now, at length, the mountain-visage had found its human counterpart. it is true, ernest had imagined that this long-looked-for personage would appear in the character of a man of peace, uttering wisdom, and doing good, and making people happy. but, taking an habitual breadth of view, with all his simplicity, he contended that providence should choose its own method of blessing mankind, and could conceive that this great end might be effected even by a warrior and a bloody sword, should inscrutable wisdom see fit to order matters so.

even so; for, the cloth being removed, the general's health had been drunk, amid shouts of applause, and he now stood upon his feet to thank the company. ernest saw him. there he was, over the shoulders of the crowd, from the two glittering epaulets and embroidered collar upward, beneath the arch of green boughs with intertwined laurel, and the banner drooping as if to shade his brow! and there, too, visible in the same glance, through the vista of the forest, appeared the great stone face! and was there, indeed, such a resemblance as the crowd had testified? alas, ernest could not recognize it! he beheld a war-worn and weatherbeaten countenance, full of energy, and expressive of an iron will; but the gentle wisdom, the deep, broad, tender sympathies, were altogether wanting in old blood-and-thunder's visage; and even if the great stone face had assumed his look of stern command, the milder traits would still have tempered it.

the mists had congregated about the distant mountain-side, and there were seen the grand and awful features of the great stone face, awful but benignant, as if a mighty angel were sitting among the hills, and enrobing himself in a cloud-vesture of gold and purple. as he looked, ernest could hardly believe but that a smile beamed over the whole visage, with a radiance still brightening, although without motion of the lips. it was probably the effect of the western sunshine, melting through the thinly diffused vapors that had swept between him and the object that he gazed at. but as it always did the aspect of his marvellous friend made ernest as hopeful as if he had never hoped in vain.

more years sped swiftly and tranquilly away. ernest still dwelt in his native valley, and was now a man of middle age. by imperceptible degrees, he had become known among the people. now, as heretofore, he labored for his bread, and was the same simple-hearted man that he had always been. but he had thought and felt so much, he had given so many of the best hours of his life to unworldly hopes for some great good to mankind, that it seemed as though he had been talking with the angels, and had imbibed a portion of their wisdom unawares. it was visible in the calm and well-considered beneficence of his daily life, the quiet stream of which had made a wide green margin all along its course. not a day passed by, that the world was not the better because this man, humble as he was, had lived. he never stepped aside from his own path, yet would always reach a blessing to his neighbor. almost involuntarily too, he had become a preacher. the pure and high simplicity of his thought, which, as one of its manifestations, took shape in the good deeds that dropped silently from his hand, flowed also forth in speech.

when the people's minds had had a little time to cool, they were ready enough to acknowledge their mistake in imagining a similarity between general blood-and-thunder's truculent physiognomy and the benign visage on the mountain-side. but now, again, there were reports and many paragraphs in the newspapers, affirming that the likeness of the great stone face had appeared upon the broad shoulders of a certain eminent statesman. he, like mr. gathergold and old blood-and-thunder, was a native of the valley, but had left it in his early days, and taken up the trades of law and politics. instead of the rich man's wealth and the warrior's sword, he had but a tongue, and it was mightier than both together. so wonderfully eloquent was he, that whatever he might choose to say, his auditors had no choice but to believe him; wrong looked like right, and right like wrong; for when it pleased him, he could make a kind of illuminated fog with his mere breath, and obscure the natural daylight with it. his tongue, indeed, was a magic instrument:

sometimes it rumbled like the thunder; sometimes it warbled like the sweetest music. it was the blast of war, the song of peace; and it seemed to have a heart in it, when there was no such matter. in good truth, he was a wondrous man; and when his tongue had acquired him all other imaginable success, when it had been heard in halls of state, and in the courts of princes and potentates, after it had made him known all over the world, even as a voice crying from shore to shore, it finally persuaded his countrymen to select him for the presidency. before this time, indeed, as soon as he began to grow celebrated, his admirers had found out the resemblance between him and the great stone face; and so much were they struck by it, that throughout the country this distinguished gentleman was known by the name of old stony phiz. the phrase was considered as giving a highly favorable aspect to his political prospects; for, as is likewise the case with the popedom, nobody ever becomes president without taking a name other than his own.

though more than once disappointed, as we have seen, he had such a hopeful and confiding nature, that he was always ready to believe in whatever seemed beautiful and good. he kept his heart continually open, and thus was sure to catch the blessing from on high when it should come. so now again, as buoyantly as ever, he went forth to behold the likeness of the great stone face.

the cavalcade came prancing along the road, with a great clattering of hoofs and a mighty cloud of dust, which rose up so dense and high that the visage of the mountain-side was completely hidden from ernest's eyes. all the great men of the neighborhood were there on horseback; militia officers, in uniform; the member of congress; the sheriff of the county; the editors of newspapers; and many a farmer, too, had mounted his patient steed, with his sunday coat upon his back. it really was a very brilliant spectacle, especially as there were numerous banners flaunting over the cavalcade, on some of which were gorgeous portraits of the illustrious statesman and the great stone face, smiling familiarly at one another, like two brothers. if the pictures were to be trusted, the mutual resemblance, it must be confessed, was marvellous. we must not forget to mention that there was a band of music, which made the echoes of the mountains ring and reverberate with the loud triumph of its strains; so that airy and soul-thrilling melodies broke out among all the heights and hollows, as if every nook of his native valley had found a voice, to welcome the distinguished guest. but the grandest effect was when the far-off mountain precipice flung back the music; for then the great stone face itself seemed to be swelling the triumphant chorus, in acknowledgment that, at length, the man of prophecy was come.

all this while the people were throwing up their hats and shouting with enthusiasm so contagious that the heart of ernest kindled up, and he likewise threw up his hat, and shouted, as loudly as the loudest, "huzza for the great man! huzza for old stony phiz!" but as yet he had not seen him.

now, it must be owned that, at his first glimpse of the countenance which was bowing and smiling from the barouche, ernest did fancy that there was a resemblance between it and the old familiar face upon the mountain-side. the brow, with its massive depth and loftiness, and all the other features, indeed, were boldly and strongly hewn, as if in emulation of a more than heroic, of a titanic model. but the sublimity and stateliness, the grand expression of a divine sympathy, that illuminated the mountain visage and etherealized its ponderous granite substance into spirit, might here be sought in vain. something had been originally left out, or had departed. and therefore the marvellously gifted statesman had always a weary gloom in the deep caverns of his eyes, as of a child that has outgrown its playthings or a man of mighty faculties and little aims, whose life, with all its high performances, was vague and empty, because no high purpose had endowed it with reality.

but ernest turned away, melancholy, and almost despondent: for this was the saddest of his disappointments, to behold a man who might have fulfilled the prophecy, and had not willed to do so. meantime, the cavalcade, the banners, the music, and the barouches swept past him, with the vociferous crowd in the rear, leaving the dust to settle down, and the great stone face to be revealed again, with the grandeur that it had worn for untold centuries.

the years hurried onward, treading in their haste on one another's heels. and now they began to bring white hairs, and scatter them over the head of ernest; they made reverend wrinkles across his forehead, and furrows in his cheeks. he was an aged man. but not in vain had he grown old: more than the white hairs on his head were the sage thoughts in his mind; his wrinkles and furrows were inscriptions that time had graved, and in which he had written legends of wisdom that had been tested by the tenor of a life. and ernest had ceased to be obscure.

unsought for, undesired, had come the fame which so many seek, and made him known in the great world, beyond the limits of the valley in which he had dwelt so quietly. college professors, and even the active men of cities, came from far to see and converse with ernest; for the report had gone abroad that this simple husbandman had ideas unlike those of other men, not gained from books, but of a higher tone, a tranquil and familiar majesty, as if he had been talking with the angels as his daily friends. whether it were sage, statesman, or philanthropist, ernest received these visitors with the gentle sincerity that had characterized him from boyhood, and spoke freely with them of whatever came uppermost, or lay deepest in his heart or their own. while they talked together, his face would kindle, unawares, and shine upon them, as with a mild evening light. pensive with the fulness of such discourse, his guests took leave and went their way; and passing up the valley, paused to look at the great stone face, imagining that they had seen its likeness in a human countenance, but could not remember where.

while ernest had been growing up and growing old, a bountiful providence had granted a new poet to this earth. he likewise, was a native of the valley, but had spent the greater part of his life at a distance from that romantic region, pouring out his sweet music amid the bustle and din of cities. often, however, did the mountains which had been familiar to him in his childhood lift their snowy peaks into the clear atmosphere of his poetry. neither was the great stone face forgotten, for the poet had celebrated it in an ode, which was grand enough to have been uttered by its own majestic lips. this man of genius, we may say, had come down from heaven with wonderful endowments. if he sang of a mountain, the eyes of all mankind beheld a mightier grandeur reposing on its breast, or soaring to its summit, than had before been seen there. if his theme were a lovely lake, a celestial smile had now been thrown over it, to gleam forever on its surface. if it were the vast old sea, even the deep immensity of its dread bosom seemed to swell the higher, as if moved by the emotions of the song. thus the world assumed another and a better aspect from the hour that the poet blessed it with his happy eyes. the creator had bestowed him, as the last best touch to his own handiwork. creation was not finished till the poet came to interpret, and so complete it.

the effect was no less high and beautiful, when his human brethren were the subject of his verse. the man or woman, sordid with the common dust of life, who crossed his daily path, and the little child who played in it, were glorified if he beheld them in his mood of poetic faith. he showed the golden links of the great chain that intertwined them with an angelic kindred; he brought out the hidden traits of a celestial birth that made them worthy of such kin. some, indeed, there were, who thought to show the soundness of their judgment by affirming that all the beauty and dignity of the natural world existed only in the poet's fancy. let such men speak for themselves, who undoubtedly appear to have been spawned forth by nature with a contemptuous bitterness; she having plastered them up out of her refuse stuff, after all the swine were made. as respects all things else, the poet's ideal was the truest truth.

the songs of this poet found their way to ernest. he read them after his customary toil, seated on the bench before his cottage-door, where for such a length of time he had filled his repose with thought, by gazing at the great stone face. and now as he read stanzas that caused the soul to thrill within him, he lifted his eyes to the vast countenance beaming on him so benignantly.

now it happened that the poet, though he dwelt so far away, had not only heard of ernest, but had meditated much upon his character, until he deemed nothing so desirable as to meet this man, whose untaught wisdom walked hand in hand with the noble simplicity of his life. one summer morning, therefore, he took passage by the railroad, and, in the decline of the afternoon, alighted from the cars at no great distance from ernest's cottage. the great hotel, which had formerly been the palace of mr. gathergold, was close at hand, but the poet, with his carpet-bag on his arm, inquired at once where ernest dwelt, and was resolved to be accepted as his guest.

the poet sat down on the bench beside him, and he and ernest talked together. often had the poet held intercourse with the wittiest and the wisest, but never before with a man like ernest, whose thoughts and feelings gushed up with such a natural freedom, and who made great truths so familiar by his simple utterance of them. angels, as had been so often said, seemed to have wrought with him at his labor in the fields; angels seemed to have sat with him by the fireside; and, dwelling with angels as friend with friends, he had imbibed the sublimity of their ideas, and imbued it with the sweet and lowly charm of household words. so thought the poet. and ernest, on the other hand, was moved and agitated by the living images which the poet flung out of his mind, and which peopled all the air about the cottage-door with shapes of beauty, both gay and pensive. the sympathies of these two men instructed them with a profounder sense than either could have attained alone. their minds accorded into one strain, and made delightful music which neither of them could have claimed as all his own, nor distinguished his own share from the other's. they led one another, as it were, into a high pavilion of their thoughts, so remote, and hitherto so dim, that they had never entered it before, and so beautiful that they desired to be there always.

"they have a strain of the divinity," replied the poet.

at the hour of sunset, as had long been his frequent custom, ernest was to discourse to an assemblage of the neighboring inhabitants in the open air. he and the poet, arm in arm, still talking together as they went along, proceeded to the spot. it was a small nook among the hills, with a gray precipice behind, the stern front of which was relieved by the pleasant foliage of many creeping plants that made a tapestry for the naked rock, by hanging their festoons from all its rugged angles.

at a small elevation above the ground, set in a rich framework of verdure, there appeared a niche, spacious enough to admit a human figure, with freedom for such gestures as spontaneously accompany earnest thought and genuine emotion. into this natural pulpit ernest ascended, and threw a look of familiar kindness around upon his audience. they stood, or sat, or reclined upon the grass, as seemed good to each, with the departing sunshine falling obliquely over them, and mingling its subdued cheerfulness with the solemnity of a grove of ancient trees, beneath and amid the boughs of which the golden rays were constrained to pass. in another direction was seen the great stone face, with the same cheer, combined with the same solemnity, in its benignant aspect.

ernest began to speak, giving to the people of what was in his heart and mind. his words had power, because they accorded with his thoughts; and his thoughts had reality and depth, because they harmonized with the life which he had always lived. it was not mere breath that this preacher uttered; they were the words of life, because a life of good deeds and holy love was melted into them. pearls, pure and rich, had been dissolved into this precious draught. the poet, as he listened, felt that the being and character of ernest were a nobler strain of poetry than he had ever written. his eyes glistening with tears, he gazed reverentially at the venerable man, and said within himself that never was there an aspect so worthy of a prophet and a sage as that mild, sweet, thoughtful countenance, with the glory of white hair diffused about it. at a distance, but distinctly to be seen, high up in the golden light of the setting sun, appeared the great stone face, with hoary mists around it, like the white hairs around the brow of ernest. its look of grand beneficence seemed to embrace the world.

at that moment, in sympathy with a thought which he was about to utter, the face of ernest assumed a grandeur of expression, so imbued with benevolence, that the poet, by an irresistible impulse, threw his arms aloft and shouted, "behold! behold! ernest is himself the likeness of the great stone face!"

then all the people looked, and saw that what the deep-sighted poet said was true. the prophecy was fulfilled. but ernest, having finished what he had to say, took the poet's arm, and walked slowly homeward, still hoping that some wiser and better man than himself would by and by appear, bearing a resemblance to the great stone face.

bartram the lime-burner, a rough, heavy-looking man, begrimed with charcoal, sat watching his kiln at nightfall, while his little son played at building houses with the scattered fragments of marble, when, on the hill-side below them, they heard a roar of laughter, not mirthful, but slow, and even solemn, like a wind shaking the boughs of the forest.

bartram and his little son, while they were talking thus, sat watching the same lime-kiln that had been the scene of ethan brand's solitary and meditative life, before he began his search for the unpardonable sin. many years, as we have seen, had now elapsed, since that portentous night when the idea was first developed. the kiln, however, on the mountain-side, stood unimpaired, and was in nothing changed since he had thrown his dark thoughts into the intense glow of its furnace, and melted them, as it were, into the one thought that took possession of his life. it was a rude, round, tower-like structure about twenty feet high, heavily built of rough stones, and with a hillock of earth heaped about the larger part of its circumference; so that the blocks and fragments of marble might be drawn by cart-loads, and thrown in at the top. there was an opening at the bottom of the tower, like an over-mouth, but large enough to admit a man in a stooping posture, and provided with a massive iron door. with the smoke and jets of flame issuing from the chinks and crevices of this door, which seemed to give admittance into the hill-side, it resembled nothing so much as the private entrance to the infernal regions, which the shepherds of the delectable mountains were accustomed to show to pilgrims.

there are many such lime-kilns in that tract of country, for the purpose of burning the white marble which composes a large part of the substance of the hills. some of them, built years ago, and long deserted, with weeds growing in the vacant round of the interior, which is open to the sky, and grass and wild-flowers rooting themselves into the chinks of the stones, look already like relics of antiquity, and may yet be overspread with the lichens of centuries to come. others, where the limeburner still feeds his daily and night-long fire, afford points of interest to the wanderer among the hills, who seats himself on a log of wood or a fragment of marble, to hold a chat with the solitary man. it is a lonesome, and, when the character is inclined to thought, may be an intensely thoughtful occupation; as it proved in the case of ethan brand, who had mused to such strange purpose, in days gone by, while the fire in this very kiln was burning.

the man who now watched the fire was of a different order, and troubled himself with no thoughts save the very few that were requisite to his business. at frequent intervals, he flung back the clashing weight of the iron door, and, turning his face from the insufferable glare, thrust in huge logs of oak, or stirred the immense brands with a long pole. within the furnace were seen the curling and riotous flames, and the burning marble, almost molten with the intensity of heat; while without, the reflection of the fire quivered on the dark intricacy of the surrounding forest, and showed in the foreground a bright and ruddy little picture of the hut, the spring beside its door, the athletic and coal-begrimed figure of the lime-burner, and the half-frightened child, shrinking into the protection of his father's shadow. and when, again, the iron door was closed, then reappeared the tender light of the half-full moon, which vainly strove to trace out the indistinct shapes of the neighboring mountains; and, in the upper sky, there was a flitting congregation of clouds, still faintly tinged with the rosy sunset, though thus far down into the valley the sunshine had vanished long and long ago.

to obtain a distincter view, bartram threw open the iron door of the kiln, whence immediately issued a gush of fierce light, that smote full upon the stranger's face and figure. to a careless eye there appeared nothing very remarkable in his aspect, which was that of a man in a coarse brown, country-made suit of clothes, tall and thin, with the staff and heavy shoes of a wayfarer. as he advanced, he fixed his eyes which were very bright intently upon the brightness of the furnace, as if he beheld, or expected to behold, some object worthy of note within it.

the little boy, all in a tremble, whispered to his father, and begged him to shut the door of the kiln, so that there might not be so much light; for that there was something in the man's face which he was afraid to look at, yet could not look away from. and, indeed, even the lime-burner's dull and torpid sense began to be impressed by an indescribable something in that thin, rugged, thoughtful visage, with the grizzled hair hanging wildly about it, and those deeply sunken eyes, which gleamed like fires within the entrance of a mysterious cavern. but, as he closed the door, the stranger turned towards him, and spoke in a quiet, familiar way, that made bartram feel as if he were a sane and sensible man, after all.

and then, without mirth in his countenance, but as if moved by an involuntary recognition of the infinite absurdity of seeking throughout the world for what was the closest of all things to himself, and looking into every heart, save his own, for what was hidden in no other breast, he broke into a laugh of scorn. it was the same slow, heavy laugh, that had almost appalled the lime-burner when it heralded the wayfarer's approach.

the solitary mountain-side was made dismal by it. laughter, when out of place, mistimed, or bursting forth from a disordered state of feeling, may be the most terrible modulation of the human voice. the laughter of one asleep, even if it be a little child, the madman's laugh, the wild, screaming laugh of a born idiot, are sounds that we sometimes tremble to hear, and would always willingly forget. poets have imagined no utterance of fiends or hobgoblins so fearfully appropriate as a laugh. and even the obtuse lime-burner felt his nerves shaken, as this strange man looked inward at his own heart, and burst into laughter that rolled away into the night, and was indistinctly reverberated among the hills.

the boy darted away on his errand, to which ethan brand made no objection, nor seemed hardly to notice it. he sat on a log of wood, looking steadfastly at the iron door of the kiln. when the child was out of sight, and his swift and light footsteps ceased to be heard treading first on the fallen leaves and then on the rocky mountain-path, the lime-burner began to regret his departure. he felt that the little fellow's presence had been a barrier between his guest and himself, and that he must now deal, heart to heart, with a man who, on his own confession, had committed the one only crime for which heaven could afford no mercy. that crime, in its indistinct blackness, seemed to overshadow him, and made his memory riotous with a throng of evil shapes that asserted their kindred with the master sin, whatever it might be, which it was within the scope of man's corrupted nature to conceive and cherish. they were all of one family; they went to and fro between his breast and ethan brand's, and carried dark greetings from one to the other.

then bartram remembered the stories which had grown traditionary in reference to this strange man, who had come upon him like a shadow of the night, and was making himself at home in his old place, after so long absence, that the dead people, dead and buried for years, would have had more right to be at home, in any familiar spot, than he. ethan brand, it was said, had conversed with satan himself in the lurid blaze of this very kiln. the legend had been matter of mirth heretofore, but looked grisly now. according to this tale, before ethan brand departed on his search, he had been accustomed to evoke a fiend from the hot furnace of the lime-kiln, night after night, in order to confer with him about the unpardonable sin; the man and the fiend each laboring to frame the image of some mode of guilt which could neither be atoned for nor forgiven. and, with the first gleam of light upon the mountain-top, the fiend crept in at the iron door, there to abide the intensest element of fire until again summoned forth to share in the dreadful task of extending man's possible guilt beyond the scope of heaven's else infinite mercy.

while the lime-burner was struggling with the horror of these thoughts, ethan brand rose from the log, and flung open the door of the kiln. the action was in such accordance with the idea in bartram's mind, that he almost expected to see the evil one issue forth, red-hot, from the raging furnace.

he stirred the vast coals, thrust in more wood, and bent forward to gaze into the hollow prison-house of the fire, regardless of the fierce glow that reddened upon his face. the lime-burner sat watching him, and half suspected this strange guest of a purpose, if not to evoke a fiend, at least to plunge into the flames, and thus vanish from the sight of man. ethan brand, however, drew quietly back, and closed the door of the kiln.

"it is a sin that grew within my own breast," replied ethan brand, standing erect with a pride that distinguishes all enthusiasts of his stamp.

soon appeared the whole lazy regiment that was wont to infest the village tavern, comprehending three or four individuals who had drunk flip beside the bar-room fire through all the winters, and smoked their pipes beneath the stoop through all the summers, since ethan brand's departure. laughing boisterously, and mingling all their voices together in unceremonious talk, they now burst into the moonshine and narrow streaks of firelight that illuminated the open space before the lime-kiln. bartram set the door ajar again, flooding the spot with light, that the whole company might get a fair view of ethan brand, and he of them.

there, among other old acquaintances, was a once ubiquitous man, now almost extinct, but whom we were formerly sure to encounter at the hotel of every thriving village throughout the country. it was the stage-agent. the present specimen of the genus was a wilted and smoke-dried man, wrinkled and red-nosed, in a smartly cut, brown, bobtailed coat, with brass buttons, who, for a length of time unknown, had kept his desk and corner in the bar-room, and was still puffing what seemed to be the same cigar that he had lighted twenty years before. he had great fame as a dry joker, though, perhaps, less on account of any intrinsic humor than from a certain flavor of brandy-toddy and tobacco-smoke, which impregnated all his ideas and expressions, as well as his person. another well-remembered, though strangely altered, face was that of lawyer giles, as people still called him in courtesy; an elderly ragamuffin, in his soiled shirtsleeves and tow-cloth trousers. this poor fellow had been an attorney, in what he called his better days, a sharp practitioner, and in great vogue among the village litigants; but flip, and sling, and toddy, and cocktails, imbibed at all hours, morning, noon, and night, had caused him to slide from intellectual to various kinds and degrees of bodily labor, till at last, to adopt his own phrase, he slid into a soap-vat. in other words, giles was now a soap-boiler, in a small way.

he had come to be but the fragment of a human being, a part of one foot having been chopped off by an axe, and an entire hand torn away by the devilish grip of a steam-engine. yet, though the corporeal hand was gone, a spiritual member remained; for, stretching forth the stump, giles steadfastly averred that he felt an invisible thumb and fingers with as vivid a sensation as before the real ones were amputated. a maimed and miserable wretch he was; but one, nevertheless, whom the world could not trample on, and had no right to scorn, either in this or any previous stage of his misfortunes, since he had still kept up the courage and spirit of a man, asked nothing in charity, and with his one hand and that the left one fought a stern battle against want and hostile circumstances.

among the throng, too, came another personage, who, with certain points of similarity to lawyer giles, had many more of difference. it was the village doctor; a man of some fifty years, whom, at an earlier period of his life, we introduced as paying a professional visit to ethan brand during the latter's supposed insanity. he was now a purple-visaged, rude, and brutal, yet half-gentlemanly figure, with something wild, ruined, and desperate in his talk, and in all the details of his gesture and manners. brandy possessed this man like an evil spirit, and made him as surly and savage as a wild beast, and as miserable as a lost soul; but there was supposed to be in him such wonderful skill, such native gifts of healing, beyond any which medical science could impart, that society caught hold of him, and would not let him sink out of its reach. so, swaying to and fro upon his horse, and grumbling thick accents at the bedside, he visited all the sick-chambers for miles about among the mountain towns, and sometimes raised a dying man, as it were, by miracle, or quite as often, no doubt, sent his patient to a grave that was dug many a year too soon.

these three worthies pressed forward, and greeted ethan brand each after his own fashion, earnestly inviting him to partake of the contents of a certain black bottle, in which, as they averred, he would find something far better worth seeking than the unpardonable sin. no mind, which has wrought itself by intense and solitary meditation into a high state of enthusiasm, can endure the kind of contact with low and vulgar modes of thought and feeling to which ethan brand was now subjected. it made him doubt and, strange to say, it was a painful doubt whether he had indeed found the unpardonable sin, and found it within himself. the whole question on which he had exhausted life, and more than life, looked like a delusion.

he pointed to an old man, shabbily dressed, with long white hair, thin visage, and unsteady eyes. for some years past this aged person had been wandering about among the hills, inquiring of all travellers whom he met for his daughter. the girl, it seemed, had gone off with a company of circus-performers, and occasionally tidings of her came to the village, and fine stories were told of her glittering appearance as she rode on horseback in the ring, or performed marvellous feats on the tight-rope.

ethan brand's eye quailed beneath the old man's. that daughter, from whom he so earnestly desired a word of greeting, was the esther of our tale, the very girl whom, with such cold and remorseless purpose, ethan brand had made the subject of a psychological experiment, and wasted, absorbed, and perhaps annihilated her soul, in the process.

while these things were passing, a merry scene was going forward in the area of cheerful light, beside the spring and before the door of the hut. a number of the youth of the village, young men and girls, had hurried up the hill-side, impelled by curiosity to see ethan brand, the hero of so many a legend familiar to their childhood. finding nothing, however, very remarkable in his aspect, nothing but a sunburnt wayfarer, in plain garb and dusty shoes, who sat looking into the fire as if he fancied pictures among the coals, these young people speedily grew tired of observing him. as it happened, there was other amusement at hand. an old german jew travelling with a diorama on his back, was passing down the mountain-road towards the village just as the party turned aside from it, and, in hopes of eking out the profits of the day, the showman had kept them company to the lime-kiln.

so, placing his box in a proper position, he invited the young men and girls to look through the glass orifices of the machine, and proceeded to exhibit a series of the most outrageous scratchings and daubings, as specimens of the fine arts, that ever an itinerant showman had the face to impose upon his circle of spectators. the pictures were worn out, moreover, tattered, full of cracks and wrinkles, dingy with tobacco-smoke, and otherwise in a most pitiable condition. some purported to be cities, public edifices, and ruined castles in europe; others represented napoleon's battles and nelson's sea-fights; and in the midst of these would be seen a gigantic, brown, hairy hand, which might have been mistaken for the hand of destiny, though, in truth, it was only the showman's, pointing its forefinger to various scenes of the conflict, while its owner gave historical illustrations. when, with much merriment at its abominable deficiency of merit, the exhibition was concluded, the german bade little joe put his head into the box.

hitherto, he had shown himself a very quiet, well-disposed old dog, going round from one to another, and, by way of being sociable, offering his rough head to be patted by any kindly hand that would take so much trouble. but now, all of a sudden, this grave and venerable quadruped, of his own mere motion, and without the slightest suggestion from anybody else, began to run round after his tail, which, to heighten the absurdity of the proceeding, was a great deal shorter than it should have been. never was seen such headlong eagerness in pursuit of an object that could not possibly be attained; never was heard such a tremendous outbreak of growling, snarling, barking, and snapping, as if one end of the ridiculous brute's body were at deadly and most unforgivable enmity with the other. faster and faster, round about went the cur; and faster and still faster fled the unapproachable brevity of his tail; and louder and fiercer grew his yells of rage and animosity; until, utterly exhausted, and as far from the goal as ever, the foolish old dog ceased his performance as suddenly as he had begun it. the next moment he was as mild, quiet, sensible, and respectable in his deportment, as when he first scraped acquaintance with the company.

meanwhile, ethan brand had resumed his seat upon the log, and moved, as it might be, by a perception of some remote analogy between his own case and that of this self-pursuing cur, he broke into the awful laugh, which, more than any other token, expressed the condition of his inward being. from that moment, the merriment of the party was at an end; they stood aghast, dreading lest the inauspicious sound should be reverberated around the horizon, and that mountain would thunder it to mountain, and so the horror be prolonged upon their ears. then, whispering one to another that it was late, that the moon was almost down,-that the august night was growing chill, they hurried homewards, leaving the lime-burner and little joe to deal as they might with their unwelcome guest. save for these three human beings, the open space on the hill-side was a solitude, set in a vast gloom of forest. beyond that darksome verge, the firelight glimmered on the stately trunks and almost black foliage of pines, intermixed with the lighter verdure of sapling oaks, maples, and poplars, while here and there lay the gigantic corpses of dead trees, decaying on the leaf-strewn soil. and it seemed to little joe a timorous and imaginative child that the silent forest was holding its breath until some fearful thing should happen.

when they had gone, ethan brand sat listening to the crackling of the kindled wood, and looking at the little spirts of fire that issued through the chinks of the door. these trifles, however, once so familiar, had but the slightest hold of his attention, while deep within his mind he was reviewing the gradual but marvellous change that had been wrought upon him by the search to which he had devoted himself. he remembered how the night dew had fallen upon him, how the dark forest had whispered to him, how the stars had gleamed upon him, a simple and loving man, watching his fire in the years gone by, and ever musing as it burned. he remembered with what tenderness, with what love and sympathy for mankind and what pity for human guilt and woe, he had first begun to contemplate those ideas which afterwards became the inspiration of his life; with what reverence he had then looked into the heart of man, viewing it as a temple originally divine, and, however desecrated, still to be held sacred by a brother; with what awful fear he had deprecated the success of his pursuit, and prayed that the unpardonable sin might never be revealed to him. then ensued that vast intellectual development, which, in its progress, disturbed the counterpoise between his mind and heart. the idea that possessed his life had operated as a means of education; it had gone on cultivating his powers to the highest point of which they were susceptible; it had raised him from the level of an unlettered laborer to stand on a star-lit eminence, whither the philosophers of the earth, laden with the lore of universities, might vainly strive to clamber after him. so much for the intellect! but where was the heart? that, indeed, had withered, had contracted, had hardened, had perished! it had ceased to partake of the universal throb. he had lost his hold of the magnetic chain of humanity. he was no longer a brother-man, opening the chambers or the dungeons of our common nature by the key of holy sympathy, which gave him a right to share in all its secrets; he was now a cold observer, looking on mankind as the subject of his experiment, and, at length, converting man and woman to be his puppets, and pulling the wires that moved them to such degrees of crime as were demanded for his study.

starting from the log with a certain alacrity in his gait and ascending the hillock of earth that was raised against the stone circumference of the lime-kiln, he thus reached the top of the structure. it was a space of perhaps ten feet across, from edge to edge, presenting a view of the upper surface of the immense mass of broken marble with which the kiln was heaped. all these innumerable blocks and fragments of marble were redhot and vividly on fire, sending up great spouts of blue flame, which quivered aloft and danced madly, as within a magic circle, and sank and rose again, with continual and multitudinous activity. as the lonely man bent forward over this terrible body of fire, the blasting heat smote up against his person with a breath that, it might be supposed, would have scorched and shrivelled him up in a moment.

he issued from the hut, followed by little joe, who kept fast hold of his father's hand. the early sunshine was already pouring its gold upon the mountain-tops, and though the valleys were still in shadow, they smiled cheerfully in the promise of the bright day that was hastening onward. the village, completely shut in by hills, which swelled away gently about it, looked as if it had rested peacefully in the hollow of the great hand of providence. every dwelling was distinctly visible; the little spires of the two churches pointed upwards, and caught a fore-glimmering of brightness from the sun-gilt skies upon their gilded weather-cocks. the tavern was astir, and the figure of the old, smoke-dried stage-agent, cigar in mouth, was seen beneath the stoop.

old graylock was glorified with a golden cloud upon his head. scattered likewise over the breasts of the surrounding mountains, there were heaps of hoary mist, in fantastic shapes, some of them far down into the valley, others high up towards the summits, and still others, of the same family of mist or cloud, hovering in the gold radiance of the upper atmosphere. stepping from one to another of the clouds that rested on the hills, and thence to the loftier brotherhood that sailed in air, it seemed almost as if a mortal man might thus ascend into the heavenly regions. earth was so mingled with sky that it was a day-dream to look at it.

so little joe ran up the hillock, and stood by his father's side. the marble was all burnt into perfect, snow-white lime. but on its surface, in the midst of the circle, snow-white too, and thoroughly converted into lime, lay a human skeleton, in the attitude of a person who, after long toil, lies down to long repose. within the ribs strange to say was the shape of a human heart.

the summer moon, which shines in so many a tale, was beaming over a broad extent of uneven country. some of its brightest rays were flung into a spring of water, where no traveller, toiling, as the writer has, up the hilly road beside which it gushes, ever failed to quench his thirst. the work of neat hands and considerate art was visible about this blessed fountain. an open cistern, hewn and hollowed out of solid stone, was placed above the waters, which filled it to the brim, but by some invisible outlet were conveyed away without dripping down its sides. though the basin had not room for another drop, and the continual gush of water made a tremor on the surface, there was a secret charm that forbade it to overflow. i remember, that when i had slaked my summer thirst, and sat panting by the cistern, it was my fanciful theory that nature could not afford to lavish so pure a liquid, as she does the waters of all meaner fountains.

while the moon was hanging almost perpendicularly over this spot, two figures appeared on the summit of the hill, and came with noiseless footsteps down towards the spring. they were then in the first freshness of youth; nor is there a wrinkle now on either of their brows, and yet they wore a strange, old-fashioned garb. one, a young man with ruddy cheeks, walked beneath the canopy of a broad-brimmed gray hat; he seemed to have inherited his great-grandsire's square-skirted coat, and a waistcoat that extended its immense flaps to his knees; his brown locks, also, hung down behind, in a mode unknown to our times. by his side was a sweet young damsel, her fair features sheltered by a prim little bonnet, within which appeared the vestal muslin of a cap; her close, long-waisted gown, and indeed her whole attire, might have been worn by some rustic beauty who had faded half a century before. but that there was something too warm and life-like in them, i would here have compared this couple to the ghosts of two young lovers who had died long since in the glow of passion, and now were straying out of their graves, to renew the old vows, and shadow forth the unforgotten kiss of their earthly lips, beside the moonlit spring.

the girl persisted in her prudery, nor did the youth, in fact, seem altogether free from a similar sort of shyness; so they sat apart from each other, gazing up the hill, where the moonlight discovered the tops of a group of buildings. while their attention was thus occupied, a party of travellers, who had come wearily up the long ascent, made a halt to refresh themselves at the spring. there were three men, a woman, and a little girl and boy. their attire was mean, covered with the dust of the summer's day, and damp with the night-dew; they all looked woebegone, as if the cares and sorrows of the world had made their steps heavier as they climbed the hill; even the two little children appeared older in evil days than the young man and maiden who had first approached the spring.

"well," said the stranger, "we will neither use force to bring you back to the village, nor will we betray you to the elders. but sit you here awhile, and when you have heard what we shall tell you of the world which we have left, and into which you are going, perhaps you will turn back with us of your own accord. what say you?" added he, turning to his companions.

though a lithographic print of this gentleman is extant, it may be well to notice that he was now nearly forty, a thin and stooping figure, in a black coat, out at elbows; notwithstanding the ill condition of his attire, there were about him several tokens of a peculiar sort of foppery, unworthy of a mature man, particularly in the arrangement of his hair which was so disposed as to give all possible loftiness and breadth to his forehead. however, he had an intelligent eye, and, on the whole, a marked countenance.

without noticing this hint of professional employment, the poet turned away, and gave himself up to a sort of vague reverie, which he called thought. sometimes he watched the moon, pouring a silvery liquid on the clouds, through which it slowly melted till they became all bright; then he saw the same sweet radiance dancing on the leafy trees which rustled as if to shake it off, or sleeping on the high tops of hills, or hovering down in distant valleys, like the material of unshaped dreams; lastly, he looked into the spring, and there the light was mingling with the water. in its crystal bosom, too, beholding all heaven reflected there, he found an emblem of a pure and tranquil breast. he listened to that most ethereal of all sounds, the song of crickets, coming in full choir upon the wind, and fancied that, if moonlight could be heard, it would sound just like that. finally, he took a draught at the shaker spring, and, as if it were the true castalia, was forthwith moved to compose a lyric, a farewell to his harp, which he swore should be its closing strain, the last verse that an ungrateful world should have from him. this effusion, with two or three other little pieces, subsequently written, he took the first opportunity to send, by one of the shaker brethren, to concord, where they were published in the new hampshire patriot.

meantime, another of the canterbury pilgrims, one so different from the poet that the delicate fancy of the latter could hardly have conceived of him, began to relate his sad experience. he was a small man, of quick and unquiet gestures, about fifty years old, with a narrow forehead, all wrinkled and drawn together. he held in his hand a pencil, and a card of some commission-merchant in foreign parts, on the back of which, for there was light enough to read or write by, he seemed ready to figure out a calculation.

"'tis a thing almost against nature for a woman to try to part true lovers," answered the yeoman's wife, after a pause; "but i'll speak as truly to you as if these were my dying words. though my husband told you some of our troubles, he didn't mention the greatest, and that which makes all the rest so hard to bear. if you and your sweetheart marry, you'll be kind and pleasant to each other for a year or two, and while that's the case, you never will repent; but, by and by, he'll grow gloomy, rough, and hard to please, and you'll be peevish, and full of little angry fits, and apt to be complaining by the fireside, when he comes to rest himself from his troubles out of doors; so your love will wear away by little and little, and leave you miserable at last.

after this picture of an inclement night, behold us seated by a great blazing fire, which looked so comfortable and delicious that i felt inclined to lie down and roll among the hot coals. the usual furniture of a lawyer's office was around us, rows of volumes in sheepskin, and a multitude of writs, summonses, and other legal papers, scattered over the desks and tables. but there were certain objects which seemed to intimate that we had little dread of the intrusion of clients, or of the learned counsellor himself, who, indeed, was attending court in a distant town. a tall, decanter-shaped bottle stood on the table, between two tumblers, and beside a pile of blotted manuscripts, altogether dissimilar to any law documents recognized in our courts. my friend, whom i shall call oberon, it was a name of fancy and friendship between him and me, my friend oberon looked at these papers with a peculiar expression of disquietude.

"even so," said the author, despondingly. "you cannot conceive what an effect the composition of these tales has had on me. i have become ambitious of a bubble, and careless of solid reputation. i am surrounding myself with shadows, which bewilder me, by aping the realities of life. they have drawn me aside from the beaten path of the world, and led me into a strange sort of solitude, a solitude in the midst of men,-where nobody wishes for what i do, nor thinks nor feels as i do. the tales have done all this. when they are ashes, perhaps i shall be as i was before they had existence. moreover, the sacrifice is less than you may suppose, since nobody will publish them."

the street was now all alive with footsteps, and the air full of voices. we heard one engine thundering round a corner, and another rattling from a distance over the pavements. the bells of three steeples clanged out at once, spreading the alarm to many a neighboring town, and expressing hurry, confusion, and terror, so inimitably that i could almost distinguish in their peal the burden of the universal cry, "fire! fire! fire!"

after the kings of great britain had assumed the right of appointing the colonial governors, the measures of the latter seldom met with the ready and generous approbation which had been paid to those of their predecessors, under the original charters. the people looked with most jealous scrutiny to the exercise of power which did not emanate from themselves, and they usually rewarded their rulers with slender gratitude for the compliances by which, in softening their instructions from beyond the sea, they had incurred the reprehension of those who gave them. the annals of massachusetts bay will inform us, that of six governors in the space of about forty years from the surrender of the old charter, under james ii, two were imprisoned by a popular insurrection; a third, as hutchinson inclines to believe, was driven from the province by the whizzing of a musket-ball; a fourth, in the opinion of the same historian, was hastened to his grave by continual bickerings with the house of representatives; and the remaining two, as well as their successors, till the revolution, were favored with few and brief intervals of peaceful sway. the inferior members of the court party, in times of high political excitement, led scarcely a more desirable life. these remarks may serve as a preface to the following adventures, which chanced upon a summer night, not far from a hundred years ago. the reader, in order to avoid a long and dry detail of colonial affairs, is requested to dispense with an account of the train of circumstances that had caused much temporary inflammation of the popular mind.

it was near nine o'clock of a moonlight evening, when a boat crossed the ferry with a single passenger, who had obtained his conveyance at that unusual hour by the promise of an extra fare. while he stood on the landing-place, searching in either pocket for the means of fulfilling his agreement, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, and the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. he was a youth of barely eighteen years, evidently country-bred, and now, as it should seem, upon his first visit to town.

he was clad in a coarse gray coat, well worn, but in excellent repair; his under garments were durably constructed of leather, and fitted tight to a pair of serviceable and well-shaped limbs; his stockings of blue yarn were the incontrovertible work of a mother or a sister; and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the graver brow of the lad's father. under his left arm was a heavy cudgel formed of an oak sapling, and retaining a part of the hardened root; and his equipment was completed by a wallet, not so abundantly stocked as to incommode the vigorous shoulders on which it hung. brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, and bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment.

the youth, one of whose names was robin, finally drew from his pocket the half of a little province bill of five shillings, which, in the depreciation in that sort of currency, did but satisfy the ferryman's demand, with the surplus of a sexangular piece of parchment, valued at three pence. he then walked forward into the town, with as light a step as if his day's journey had not already exceeded thirty miles, and with as eager an eye as if he were entering london city, instead of the little metropolis of a new england colony. before robin had proceeded far, however, it occurred to him that he knew not whither to direct his steps; so he paused, and looked up and down the narrow street, scrutinizing the small and mean wooden buildings that were scattered on either side.

he resumed his walk, and was glad to perceive that the street now became wider, and the houses more respectable in their appearance. he soon discerned a figure moving on moderately in advance, and hastened his steps to overtake it. as robin drew nigh, he saw that the passenger was a man in years, with a full periwig of gray hair, a wide-skirted coat of dark cloth, and silk stockings rolled above his knees. he carried a long and polished cane, which he struck down perpendicularly before him at every step; and at regular intervals he uttered two successive hems, of a peculiarly solemn and sepulchral intonation.

he now became entangled in a succession of crooked and narrow streets, which crossed each other, and meandered at no great distance from the water-side. the smell of tar was obvious to his nostrils, the masts of vessels pierced the moonlight above the tops of the buildings, and the numerous signs, which robin paused to read, informed him that he was near the centre of business. but the streets were empty, the shops were closed, and lights were visible only in the second stories of a few dwelling-houses. at length, on the corner of a narrow lane, through which he was passing, he beheld the broad countenance of a british hero swinging before the door of an inn, whence proceeded the voices of many guests. the casement of one of the lower windows was thrown back, and a very thin curtain permitted robin to distinguish a party at supper, round a well-furnished table. the fragrance of the good cheer steamed forth into the outer air, and the youth could not fail to recollect that the last remnant of his travelling stock of provision had yielded to his morning appetite, and that noon had found and left him dinnerless.

he entered the tavern, and was guided by the murmur of voices and the fumes of tobacco to the public-room. it was a long and low apartment, with oaken walls, grown dark in the continual smoke, and a floor which was thickly sanded, but of no immaculate purity. a number of persons the larger part of whom appeared to be mariners, or in some way connected with the sea occupied the wooden benches, or leatherbottomed chairs, conversing on various matters, and occasionally lending their attention to some topic of general interest. three or four little groups were draining as many bowls of punch, which the west india trade had long since made a familiar drink in the colony. others, who had the appearance of men who lived by regular and laborious handicraft, preferred the insulated bliss of an unshared potation, and became more taciturn under its influence. nearly all, in short, evinced a predilection for the good creature in some of its various shapes, for this is a vice to which, as fast day sermons of a hundred years ago will testify, we have a long hereditary claim. the only guests to whom robin's sympathies inclined him were two or three sheepish countrymen, who were using the inn somewhat after the fashion of a turkish caravansary; they had gotten themselves into the darkest corner of the room, and heedless of the nicotian atmosphere, were supping on the bread of their own ovens, and the bacon cured in their own chimney-smoke. but though robin felt a sort of brotherhood with these strangers, his eyes were attracted from them to a person who stood near the door, holding whispered conversation with a group of ill-dressed associates. his features were separately striking almost to grotesqueness, and the whole face left a deep impression on the memory.

while robin deliberated of whom to inquire respecting his kinsman's dwelling, he was accosted by the innkeeper, a little man in a stained white apron, who had come to pay his professional welcome to the stranger. being in the second generation from a french protestant, he seemed to have inherited the courtesy of his parent nation; but no variety of circumstances was ever known to change his voice from the one shrill note in which he now addressed robin.

all eyes were now turned on the country lad, standing at the door, in his worn three-cornered hat, gray coat, leather breeches, and blue yarn stockings, leaning on an oaken cudgel, and bearing a wallet on his back.

robin replied to the courteous innkeeper, with such an assumption of confidence as befitted the major's relative. "my honest friend," he said, "i shall make it a point to patronize your house on some occasion, when" here he could not help lowering his voice "when i may have more than a parchment three-pence in my pocket. my present business," continued he, speaking with lofty confidence, "is merely to inquire my way to the dwelling of my kinsman, major molineux."

there was a sudden and general movement in the room, which robin interpreted as expressing the eagerness of each individual to become his guide. but the innkeeper turned his eyes to a written paper on the wall, which he read, or seemed to read, with occasional recurrences to the young man's figure.

robin had begun to draw his hand towards the lighter end of the oak cudgel, but a strange hostility in every countenance induced him to relinquish his purpose of breaking the courteous innkeeper's head. as he turned to leave the room, he encountered a sneering glance from the bold-featured personage whom he had before noticed; and no sooner was he beyond the door, than he heard a general laugh, in which the innkeeper's voice might be distinguished, like the dropping of small stones into a kettle.

on turning the corner of the narrow lane, robin found himself in a spacious street, with an unbroken line of lofty houses on each side, and a steepled building at the upper end, whence the ringing of a bell announced the hour of nine. the light of the moon, and the lamps from the numerous shop-windows, discovered people promenading on the pavement, and amongst them robin had hoped to recognize his hitherto inscrutable relative. the result of his former inquiries made him unwilling to hazard another, in a scene of such publicity, and he determined to walk slowly and silently up the street, thrusting his face close to that of every elderly gentleman, in search of the major's lineaments. in his progress, robin encountered many gay and gallant figures. embroidered garments of showy colors, enormous periwigs, gold-laced hats, and silver-hilted swords glided past him and dazzled his optics. travelled youths, imitators of the european fine gentlemen of the period, trod jauntily along, half dancing to the fashionable tunes which they hummed, and making poor robin ashamed of his quiet and natural gait. at length, after many pauses to examine the gorgeous display of goods in the shop-windows, and after suffering some rebukes for the impertinence of his scrutiny into people's faces, the major's kinsman found himself near the steepled building, still unsuccessful in his search. as yet, however, he had seen only one side of the thronged street; so robin crossed, and continued the same sort of inquisition down the opposite pavement, with stronger hopes than the philosopher seeking an honest man, but with no better fortune. he had arrived about midway towards the lower end, from which his course began, when he overheard the approach of some one who struck down a cane on the flag-stones at every step, uttering at regular intervals, two sepulchral hems.

turning a corner, which chanced to be close at his right hand, he hastened to pursue his researches in some other part of the town. his patience now was wearing low, and he seemed to feel more fatigue from his rambles since he crossed the ferry, than from his journey of several days on the other side. hunger also pleaded loudly within him, and robin began to balance the propriety of demanding, violently, and with lifted cudgel, the necessary guidance from the first solitary passenger whom he should meet. while a resolution to this effect was gaining strength, he entered a street of mean appearance, on either side of which a row of ill-built houses was straggling towards the harbor. the moonlight fell upon no passenger along the whole extent, but in the third domicile which robin passed there was a half-opened door, and his keen glance detected a woman's garment within.

accordingly, he approached the doors and beheld it shut closer as he did so; yet an open space remained, sufficing for the fair occupant to observe the stranger, without a corresponding display on her part. all that robin could discern was a strip of scarlet petticoat, and the occasional sparkle of an eye, as if the moonbeams were trembling on some bright thing.

robin's voice was plaintive and winning, and the female, seeing nothing to be shunned in the handsome country youth, thrust open the door, and came forth into the moonlight. she was a dainty little figure with a white neck, round arms, and a slender waist, at the extremity of which her scarlet petticoat jutted out over a hoop, as if she were standing in a balloon. moreover, her face was oval and pretty, her hair dark beneath the little cap, and her bright eyes possessed a sly freedom, which triumphed over those of robin.

so saying, the fair and hospitable dame took our hero by the hand; and the touch was light, and the force was gentleness, and though robin read in her eyes what he did not hear in her words, yet the slender-waisted woman in the scarlet petticoat proved stronger than the athletic country youth. she had drawn his half-willing footsteps nearly to the threshold, when the opening of a door in the neighborhood startled the major's housekeeper, and, leaving the major's kinsman, she vanished speedily into her own domicile. a heavy yawn preceded the appearance of a man, who, like the moonshine of pyramus and thisbe, carried a lantern, needlessly aiding his sister luminary in the heavens. as he walked sleepily up the street, he turned his broad, dull face on robin, and displayed a long staff, spiked at the end.

the watchman made no reply, but turned the corner and was gone; yet robin seemed to hear the sound of drowsy laughter stealing along the solitary street. at that moment, also, a pleasant titter saluted him from the open window above his head; he looked up, and caught the sparkle of a saucy eye; a round arm beckoned to him, and next he heard light footsteps descending the staircase within. but robin, being of the household of a new england clergyman, was a good youth, as well as a shrewd one; so he resisted temptation, and fled away.

they did but utter a few words in some language of which robin knew nothing, and perceiving his inability to answer, bestowed a curse upon him in plain english and hastened away. finally, the lad determined to knock at the door of every mansion that might appear worthy to be occupied by his kinsman, trusting that perseverance would overcome the fatality that had hitherto thwarted him. firm in this resolve, he was passing beneath the walls of a church, which formed the corner of two streets, when, as he turned into the shade of its steeple, he encountered a bulky stranger muffled in a cloak. the man was proceeding with the speed of earnest business, but robin planted himself full before him, holding the oak cudgel with both hands across his body as a bar to further passage.

robin gazed with dismay and astonishment on the unprecedented physiognomy of the speaker. the forehead with its double prominence the broad hooked nose, the shaggy eyebrows, and fiery eyes were those which he had noticed at the inn, but the man's complexion had undergone a singular, or, more properly, a twofold change. one side of the face blazed an intense red, while the other was black as midnight, the division line being in the broad bridge of the nose; and a mouth which seemed to extend from ear to ear was black or red, in contrast to the color of the cheek. the effect was as if two individual devils, a fiend of fire and a fiend of darkness, had united themselves to form this infernal visage. the stranger grinned in robin's face, muffled his party-colored features, and was out of sight in a moment.

he seated himself, however, upon the steps of the church-door, resolving to wait the appointed time for his kinsman. a few moments were consumed in philosophical speculations upon the species of man who had just left him; but having settled this point shrewdly, rationally, and satisfactorily, he was compelled to look elsewhere for his amusement. and first he threw his eyes along the street. it was of more respectable appearance than most of those into which he had wandered, and the moon, creating, like the imaginative power, a beautiful strangeness in familiar objects, gave something of romance to a scene that might not have possessed it in the light of day. the irregular and often quaint architecture of the houses, some of whose roofs were broken into numerous little peaks, while others ascended, steep and narrow, into a single point, and others again were square; the pure snow-white of some of their complexions, the aged darkness of others, and the thousand sparklings, reflected from bright substances in the walls of many; these matters engaged robin's attention for a while, and then began to grow wearisome. next he endeavored to define the forms of distant objects, starting away, with almost ghostly indistinctness, just as his eye appeared to grasp them, and finally he took a minute survey of an edifice which stood on the opposite side of the street, directly in front of the church-door, where he was stationed. it was a large, square mansion, distinguished from its neighbors by a balcony, which rested on tall pillars, and by an elaborate gothic window, communicating therewith.

then he strove to speed away the time, by listening to a murmur which swept continually along the street, yet was scarcely audible, except to an unaccustomed ear like his; it was a low, dull, dreamy sound, compounded of many noises, each of which was at too great a distance to be separately heard. robin marvelled at this snore of a sleeping town, and marvelled more whenever its continuity was broken by now and then a distant shout, apparently loud where it originated. but altogether it was a sleep-inspiring sound, and, to shake off its drowsy influence, robin arose, and climbed a window-frame, that he might view the interior of the church. there the moonbeams came trembling in, and fell down upon the deserted pews, and extended along the quiet aisles. a fainter yet more awful radiance was hovering around the pulpit, and one solitary ray had dared to rest upon the open page of the great bible.

had nature, in that deep hour, become a worshipper in the house which man had builded? or was that heavenly light the visible sanctity of the place, visible because no earthly and impure feet were within the walls? the scene made robin's heart shiver with a sensation of loneliness stronger than he had ever felt in the remotest depths of his native woods; so he turned away and sat down again before the door.

there were graves around the church, and now an uneasy thought obtruded into robin's breast. what if the object of his search, which had been so often and so strangely thwarted, were all the time mouldering in his shroud? what if his kinsman should glide through yonder gate, and nod and smile to him in dimly passing by?

recalling his thoughts from this uncomfortable track, he sent them over forest, hill, and stream, and attempted to imagine how that evening of ambiguity and weariness had been spent by his father's household. he pictured them assembled at the door, beneath the tree, the great old tree, which had been spared for its huge twisted trunk and venerable shade, when a thousand leafy brethren fell. there, at the going down of the summer sun, it was his father's custom to perform domestic worship that the neighbors might come and join with him like brothers of the family, and that the wayfaring man might pause to drink at that fountain, and keep his heart pure by freshening the memory of home.

robin distinguished the seat of every individual of the little audience; he saw the good man in the midst, holding the scriptures in the golden light that fell from the western clouds; he beheld him close the book and all rise up to pray. he heard the old thanksgivings for daily mercies, the old supplications for their continuance to which he had so often listened in weariness, but which were now among his dear remembrances. he perceived the slight inequality of his father's voice when he came to speak of the absent one; he noted how his mother turned her face to the broad and knotted trunk; how his elder brother scorned, because the beard was rough upon his upper lip, to permit his features to be moved; how the younger sister drew down a low hanging branch before her eyes; and how the little one of all, whose sports had hitherto broken the decorum of the scene, understood the prayer for her playmate, and burst into clamorous grief. then he saw them go in at the door; and when robin would have entered also, the latch tinkled into its place, and he was excluded from his home.

a mighty stream of people now emptied into the street, and came rolling slowly towards the church. a single horseman wheeled the corner in the midst of them, and close behind him came a band of fearful wind instruments, sending forth a fresher discord now that no intervening buildings kept it from the ear. then a redder light disturbed the moonbeams, and a dense multitude of torches shone along the street, concealing, by their glare, whatever object they illuminated. the single horseman, clad in a military dress, and bearing a drawn sword, rode onward as the leader, and, by his fierce and variegated countenance, appeared like war personified; the red of one cheek was an emblem of fire and sword; the blackness of the other betokened the mourning that attends them. in his train were wild figures in the indian dress, and many fantastic shapes without a model, giving the whole march a visionary air, as if a dream had broken forth from some feverish brain, and were sweeping visibly through the midnight streets.

he was an elderly man, of large and majestic person, and strong, square features, betokening a steady soul; but steady as it was, his enemies had found means to shake it. his face was pale as death, and far more ghastly; the broad forehead was contracted in his agony, so that his eyebrows formed one grizzled line; his eyes were red and wild, and the foam hung white upon his quivering lip. his whole frame was agitated by a quick and continual tremor, which his pride strove to quell, even in those circumstances of overwhelming humiliation. but perhaps the bitterest pang of all was when his eyes met those of robin; for he evidently knew him on the instant, as the youth stood witnessing the foul disgrace of a head grown gray in honor. they stared at each other in silence, and robin's knees shook, and his hair bristled, with a mixture of pity and terror. soon, however, a bewildering excitement began to seize upon his mind; the preceding adventures of the night, the unexpected appearance of the crowd, the torches, the confused din and the hush that followed, the spectre of his kinsman reviled by that great multitude, all this, and, more than all, a perception of tremendous ridicule in the whole scene, affected him with a sort of mental inebriety. at that moment a voice of sluggish merriment saluted robin's ears; he turned instinctively, and just behind the corner of the church stood the lantern-bearer, rubbing his eyes, and drowsily enjoying the lad's amazement. then he heard a peal of laughter like the ringing of silvery bells; a woman twitched his arm, a saucy eye met his, and he saw the lady of the scarlet petticoat. a sharp, dry cachinnation appealed to his memory, and, standing on tiptoe in the crowd, with his white apron over his head, he beheld the courteous little innkeeper. and lastly, there sailed over the heads of the multitude a great, broad laugh, broken in the midst by two sepulchral hems; thus, "haw, haw, haw, hem, hem, haw, haw, haw, haw!"

the sound proceeded from the balcony of the opposite edifice, and thither robin turned his eyes. in front of the gothic window stood the old citizen, wrapped in a wide gown, his gray periwig exchanged for a nightcap, which was thrust back from his forehead, and his silk stockings hanging about his legs. he supported himself on his polished cane in a fit of convulsive merriment, which manifested itself on his solemn old features like a funny inscription on a tombstone. then robin seemed to hear the voices of the barbers, of the guests of the inn, and of all who had made sport of him that night. the contagion was spreading among the multitude, when all at once, it seized upon robin, and he sent forth a shout of laughter that echoed through the street, every man shook his sides, every man emptied his lungs, but robin's shout was the loudest there. the cloud-spirits peeped from their silvery islands, as the congregated mirth went roaring up the sky! the man in the moon heard the far bellow. "oho," quoth he, "the old earth is frolicsome to-night!"

the truth was that ozma was thinking of events that had happened many years before in the history of the land of oz. not always had oz been a fairy realm. in those olden times oz had been nothing more than a remarkably beautiful country of rolling plains, wooded hills and rich farm lands. indeed, oz had not been so much different from our own united states, except that it was surrounded on all sides by a deadly desert. it was this desert which prevented curious men from the great outside world from finding their way to oz. for the fumes and gasses that rose from the shifting sands of the desert were deadly poison to all living things, and for a human to have set foot on the desert would have meant instant and terrible death. consequently, all living things avoided the deadly desert, and it is no wonder that oz was so entirely secluded and went unnoticed by the rest of the world for so many long years.

queen lurline sought out the king of this favored land and found him to be an old man with no son or daughter to whom he could pass on his crown. with great joy the old king accepted the tiny, baby fairy whom queen lurline placed in his care. when the baby fairy attained her full age of girlhood (no fairy ever appears to be older than a young girl of fourteen or fifteen) she was to be crowned princess ozma of oz.

the sight that met her eyes caused even the good queen lurline to chill and falter momentarily on the rocky ledge on which she stood. above her rose the vast, cavernous walls of the hollow mountain. spread out below were the corridors burrowed into the rock by the mimics. in dark caverns deep below these corridors the monsters made their homes.

as queen lurline gazed, the mimics were moving through the rough-hewn corridors or flying through the air. the most unusual thing about the creatures was their strange habit of constantly changing their shapes. they shifted restlessly from one form to another. since they were creatures of evil, the shapes they assumed were all forms of the blackest evil and dread.

even as queen lurline watched, fascinated by the strange spectacle, the mimics shifted and changed and flitted from one loathsome shape to another. a monster bird with leathery wings and a horned head dropped to the ground, and in another second assumed the squat body of a huge toad with the head of a hyena, snarling with laughter. a crawling red lizard, all of ten feet in length, turned into a giant butterfly with black wings and the body of a serpent. a great, green bat with wicked talons alighted on a ledge not far from queen lurline and in an instant changed to a mammoth, hairy creature with the body of a huge ape and the head of an alligator.

queen lurline was well aware that the mimics' strange habit of changing their shapes was the least of their evil characteristics. much more dreadful was the power possessed by these creatures to steal the shapes of both mortals and immortals. a mimic accomplished this simply by casting himself on the shadow of his victim. instantly the mimic arose, a perfect double in outward appearance of the person whose shadow he had stolen. as for the unfortunate victim, he fell into a spell of enchantment, unable to move or speak, but conscious of all that was taking place about him.

on this particular morning king umb and queen ra secluded themselves in a hidden cavern, deep in the underground caves that honeycombed the depths of hollow mount illuso. roughly hewn from the grey rock, this cavern was circular in shape and was filled with ancient books and strange and weird implements of sorcery and enchantment. king umb possessed little skill in magic arts, but queen ra was powerful in the practice of conjuring and evil incantation.

after the visit of queen lurline to mount illuso and the casting of the powerful enchantment that prevented king umb and queen ra from leading their mimic subjects in the destruction of oz, queen ra had at first raged and fumed and wildly vowed vengeance on queen lurline and princess ozma. then, as the years passed by, the evil queen spent more and more time lurking in the secret cavern, studying the ancient sorcery of the erbs, employing her black arts to follow events in the history of oz and plotting the destruction of the fairyland.

of course the mimic king and queen were free to lead their hordes in attacks on people of other lands, and you may wonder why they didn't forget all about oz and content themselves with bringing misery to other countries. the reason was that the wicked king and queen of the mimics despised all that was good, and they could not endure the thought of the oz people living in peace and contentment, safe from their evil-doing. so long as the oz inhabitants remained the happiest people in all the world, king umb and queen ra could derive no satisfaction in bringing misery to other less happy lands.

queen ra was well aware that princess ozma was one of the most powerful fairy rulers in existence, and that her loyal friend, glinda the good, was the mightiest and wisest of all sorceresses. nevertheless, through her own dark magic, queen ra had recently made two important discoveries that raised her hopes so high that she believed she might be able soon to defy both ozma and glinda.

this morning queen ra had assumed the shape of a huge woman almost a giantess with the head of a grey wolf. king umb wore the form of a black bear with an owl head. the queen held in her hands a circlet of dully gleaming metal. the red eyes of her wolf head gazed at it steadily, while she muttered an incantation. as the wolf-headed woman spoke, a wisp of grey mist appeared in the center of the metal ring.

the mist expanded into a ball, growing denser in appearance. next it became milky in hue, then opalescent, finally glowing as with an inner light. slowly a scene appeared in the metal-bound ball of shimmering opal mist. while king umb and queen ra watched, the throne room of the royal palace in the emerald city grew distinct in the milky depths of the captive ball. princess ozma stood by her throne with glinda the good at her side. the lips of the little ruler were moving, forming words, although the mimic monarchs could distinguish no sound. ozma was addressing her subjects. then the girl ruler smiled and raised her wand. in an instant both ozma and glinda had vanished. the ball of glowing mist disappeared. with a clatter queen ra threw the metal circlet to the stone floor of the cave and triumphantly faced the owl-headed bear.

at times in their flight, when the captives were able to exchange glances, dorothy read in the wizard's kindly eyes a mute expression of concern for his little comrade. the girl tried to reassure him, but it was difficult to look brave when she was unable to move even an eyelash and besides, dorothy had to admit to herself, she didn't feel at all brave just now.

in another minute when dorothy was gazing at the bird that was carrying her so swiftly through the air, she was startled to see the form of the creature shift and change. from a huge, eagle-like bird it changed to an enormous condor. strange birds these were, dorothy thought, which went about changing their shapes and stealing little girls and wizards.

as they flew over the yellow land of the winkies, the motion of the bird's body occasionally permitted dorothy to look downward. once she glimpsed, sparkling in the sunlight, the highly polished towers and minarets of a handsome tin castle. this, she knew, was the home of her old friend nick chopper the tin woodman, emperor of the winkies.

dorothy found herself wondering what the kind-hearted nick chopper would say if he could know that at this moment his dear friends were being carried high in the air over his castle, prisoners of two giant black birds! but there was no use speculating in this fashion. the tin woodman was powerless to aid them, even if he had known their plight.

with a start dorothy realized that the birds had crossed the border of oz and were now flying over the deadly desert. the fact that they had left the land of oz behind them disturbed dorothy greatly. yet the little girl did not give way to fright. she had experienced so many strange and sometimes dangerous adventures in her lifetime, that she had wisely learned never to despair.

the journey over the desert seemed endless. despite the great height at which the birds flew, dorothy was beginning to feel faint and ill from the evil fumes of the sands by the time they reached the border of the land of the phanfasms. however, once past the desert, she was revived by the fresh air.

where were these great birds taking them? and why? as dorothy pondered, she noted a sharp mountain peak jutting suddenly out of the grey, grim land of desolate waste and stone that lay below. straight for the mountain flew the birds. in a few more minutes they descended with their victims to the entrance of the mountain. passing through the stone portal, the mimics retained their bird shapes, circling through the vast cavern of the hollow mountain. the cavern and corridors were deserted now that the sun was in the heavens, and the mimics had returned to their underground caverns to rest after the night of revelry.

styg and ebo flew to a ledge of rock that jutted out from the mountain wall. ebo muttered a magic word, and a rude stone door swung open, revealing a lightless cavern. dorothy was thrust into the cave, and a moment later the wizard was deposited beside her in the darkness.

until now dorothy had entertained a vague hope that in some way the wizard's magic powers would come to their rescue. but since the little man had none of his magic tools with him, and could not speak to utter an incantation, nor move to make the motions of a charm, dorothy realized that he was quite as powerless as she.

the patchwork girl was a sorry sight. the high-grade cotton in her patchwork or "crazy quilt" body was bunched together in all the wrong places. after running and dancing a great deal that morning as she always did the patchwork girl's body had sagged and she had grown dumpy in appearance. when this happened she always lay down and rolled about until she had resumed her original plump shape. now after her abrupt meeting with the scarecrow her figure was in bad need of attention. the pointed toes of the red leather shoes sewn on her feet stood straight up. her fingers, carefully formed and fitted with gold plates for finger nails, dug into the path on which she sat. her shock of brown yarn hair hung down over her suspender button eyes and over her ears, which were made of thin plates of gold. between the two rows of pearls sewn in her mouth for teeth, her scarlet plush tongue stuck out impudently at the scarecrow.

the patchwork girl's brains were slightly mixed, containing among other qualities a dash of poesy, which accounted for her habit of breaking into rhymes and jingles when it was least expected. now she was too surprised to speak. she had been brought to life in the first place by a magic powder, and since she was always jolly and good-natured, the patchwork girl was a prime favorite among the oz folks. nicknamed scraps, the queer girl laughed at dignity and liked nothing better than to dance and sing. it was impossible to be downcast for long in the company of this merry, carefree creature.

the two walked to the opposite side of the cavern and found that, as dorothy had observed, the flood of light originated from one small point. this point was a circular bit of stone, round and polished, and no larger than a small button.

impulsively dorothy reached out and pressed the button of rock with her finger. in the deep silence that filled the cave, the two adventurers detected a far-away humming sound, like the whirring of wheels in motion. as dorothy and the wizard listened, the sound grew louder.

at last the whirring noise seemed to be just opposite them on the other side of the stone wall. it stopped completely and there was silence. a second later a section of the stone wall swung outward, and dorothy and the wizard found themselves staring into a small room much like the car of an elevator. the car was painted bright blue, trimmed with red and gold, and sitting on a small stool was a curious little man.

in spite of the apparent atmosphere of gayety, this gathering was not at all like the merry company that usually assembled in the dining room for the evening meal. first of all, the absence of the radiant ozma was keenly felt by the entire gathering, and this automatically subdued the spirit of the occasion. next, no one at the table had failed to note and wonder at the fact that dorothy and the wizard usually so cheerful and cordial had merely nodded unsmilingly to their assembled friends as they had taken their places at the head of the table. finally, scraps, the scarecrow, trot and cap'n bill, unable to forget the strange conversation they had overheard in the garden earlier in the day, stole curious glances at dorothy and the wizard, seeking some clue to their unusual behavior.

a red cap was perched at a jaunty angle on his head. his face was round and his cheeks as rosy as two apples. his blue eyes were very bright and friendly. but the oddest thing about him was that his clothes appeared to be a part of his body as though they were painted on. and dorothy concluded he was most certainly made of some substance other than flesh and blood.

dorothy and the wizard stepped from the elevator and surveyed the scene before them. yes, this was certainly the top of mount illuso. the elevator exit was in a large stone wall, at least ten feet in height, that appeared to circle the edge of the mountain top. before them spread a dense pine forest, while a small path led from the elevator to a tiny cottage that stood nearby. the cottage was painted bright blue with trim white shutters, and smoke was rising cheerily from its red brick chimney.

the wizard found it necessary to bend over to get in the doorway, so small was the cottage. once inside, his head nearly touched the ceiling. the cottage was neatly and attractively furnished with comfortable pine chairs, tables and a large davenport drawn before a fireplace on which a log fire crackled cheerfully. the air was sharp on the mountain top, so the bright fire was a welcome sight to the two wanderers. all the furniture glowed with the cheerful, gaudy hues of glossy enamel. dorothy thought that the wholesome aroma of pine scent that filled the cottage was especially delightful.

in a few minutes more dorothy and the wizard had reached the central part of pineville. here a trim, white picket fence encircled a large area that seemed to be one huge flower garden with every sort of flower imaginable growing in it. in the exact center of this enclosure stood an attractive blue cottage, large enough to accommodate comfortably full-sized human beings. just in front of the cottage was a pond of placid blue water. in the pond grew water lilies and all sorts of flowering plants that one finds in lakes and ponds.

seeing that the passengers were all aboard, ozana signaled the swans, and with mighty strokes of their great wings the birds soared into the air. dorothy looked behind her and saw ozana's cottage growing smaller as the birds climbed higher and higher into the heavens. in a short time, they had left mount illuso so far in the distance that it was no longer visible.

glancing at uncle henry for a moment from one of his eyes which were knots in the wood, the sawhorse turned, as soon as uncle henry was mounted, and dashed down the stable driveway into the street leading to the gates of the emerald city. once outside the city, the sawhorse ran so swiftly that its legs, which were merely sticks of wood which ozma had caused to be shod with gold, fairly twinkled. it sped with a rolling, cradle-like motion over fields and hills, and uncle henry had to hold on for dear life.

perhaps i should explain that glinda's great book of records is a marvelous book in which everything that happens, from the slightest detail to the most important event taking place anywhere in the world, is recorded the same instant that it happens. no occurrence is too trivial to appear in the book. if a naughty child stamps its foot in anger, or if a powerful ruler plunges his country into war, both events are noted in the book, as of equal importance.

while queen ra's shape was that of a woman, her body was covered with a heavy fur of a reddish-brown color, and her head was that of a fox with a long snout and sharply pointed ears. two green eyes blazed with a fierce light from her furry face. in her hand the fox-woman held a brass whistle on which she blew a shrill blast. in answer to this summons came the mimic known as ebo. ebo wore the body of a jackal with the head of a serpent.

of all the horde of beautiful birds that had settled on the emerald city, only two remained in the royal gardens. these were king umb and queen ra. at this point the mimic king and queen cast off their bird forms. a strange man and woman suddenly appeared in the midst of the oz people and the mimic-oz-people. the woman was big, raw-boned and red-skinned. her hair was twisted on her head in a hard black knot, on which was set a small golden crown. the scarecrow started with surprise when he saw that the strange woman was wearing dorothy's magic belt.

(until now the belt had been concealed by the plumage of ra's bird form.) queen ra had brought the magic belt with her because of its wonderful powers which she had been studying and which she felt would be useful in carrying out the conquest of oz. beside the woman stood a giant man with a flowing black beard and tangled black hair. his eyes were fierce and hawklike.

to his amazement, the scarecrow found himself being made captive by cap'n bill and ojo the lucky. the straw man was wise enough to know that these twin likenesses were not really his old friends, cap'n bill and ojo, so he resisted with all his might. but the poor scarecrow's body was so light that the mimics had no difficulty in fastening the ropes about him and pinning his arms to his sides.

but the scarecrow had been in dangerous situations before, so he did not give up hope by any means. while queen ra was gloating over her prisoners, the scarecrow's famous brains were hard at work. suddenly it occurred to the straw man that ozma and glinda were to return to the emerald city at ten o'clock this morning. it was almost that time now. if only he could engage the wicked queen in conversation until ozma and glinda appeared, then the royal ruler and the good sorceress might take their enemies by surprise. the scarecrow was confident that ozma would be able to deal with these usurpers to her throne.

with this plan in mind, the scarecrow cried out in a bold voice: "i demand to know what you have done with dorothy and the wizard!" when he had witnessed the peculiar manner in which the gaudily plumed birds had assumed the shapes of his human friends in the garden, the scarecrow had first suspected that these creatures were responsible for the disappearance of dorothy and the wizard. then the sight of dorothy's magic belt about the waist of the big woman had convinced him of the truth of his suspicions.

as ozana completed this speech, she described a large circle in the air before her with her fairy wand. immediately that space was filled with a silvery, cloud-like radiance that glowed and shimmered. then, while ozma and the rest watched, a scene appeared in the cloud of silver mist. dorothy and the wizard recognized it as the interior of the mimic cavern inside hollow mount illuso. far in the top of the cavern they saw a scarlet spider web, in the center of which squatted a huge crimson spider. while those in the throne room watched with fascinated interest, the spider, seeming to sense that it was being observed, scuttled with a sudden, crab-like motion to the outer edge of the web.

with the tip of her wand, ozana touched the head of the image of the spider. instantly, the creature leaped into the air and trembled convulsively, as though it had received an electric shock. then it began slowly to dissolve before their eyes. first its legs wilted, grew shapeless and melted away. next its body collapsed inwardly, like an over-ripe melon, finally shriveling and disappearing altogether.

now the spellbound spectators in the throne room saw a spot of silver light appear on the outermost strand of the crimson web. the light raced over every coil of the immense web, progressing swiftly to the web's center. as fast as the silver light flashed along the scarlet coils, they vanished. in a few seconds more not a trace remained of the vast web or its loathsome occupant. the point of cleansing silver light winked out; the image of the mimic cavern faded; and the silver mist vanished from the throne room.

"it would be too bad," ozana remarked, "to mar permanently the beauty of your lovely ballroom." she lifted her wand, and while the onlookers blinked the mirrors were whole again. in their gleaming depths was no trace of the mimic horde. the grand ballroom was as splendid as ever.

dorothy and the wizard related their adventures on mount illuso, and then the scarecrow tried to make clear to ozma, glinda and dorothy and the wizard everything that had happened in the emerald city during their absence. scraps helped him out, and betsy bobbin reminded him of things he had forgotten, while trot chimed in, and button bright wanted to tell the story his way. there was such a chatter it was a wonder ozma and the rest understood anything.

then the witch told ivan tsarevitch how and where to find the oak tree. ivan hastily went to the place. but when he perceived the oak tree he was much discouraged, not knowing what to do or how to begin the work. lo and behold! that old acquaintance of his, the russian bear, came running along, approached the tree, uprooted it, and the trunk fell and broke. a hare jumped out of the trunk and began to run fast; but another hare, ivan's friend, came running after, caught it and tore it to pieces. out of the hare there flew a duck, a gray one which flew very high and was almost invisible, but the beautiful white duck followed the bird and struck its gray enemy, which lost an egg.

the tsar archidei ordered carpenters to be sent to the first simeon, as well as masons and blacksmiths and all sorts of workingmen. he also ordered a supply of bricks, stones, iron, clay, and cement. without any delay, simeon, the first brother, began to build a column, and according to his simple peasant's habits his work progressed rapidly, and not a moment was wasted in clever combinations. in a short time the white column was ready, and lo, how high it went! as high as the great planets. the smaller stars were beneath it, and from above the people seemed to be like bugs.

the second simeon climbed the column, looked around, listened to all sounds, and came down. the tsar archidei, anxious to know about everything under the sun, ordered him to report, and simeon did so. he told the tsar archidei all the wonderful doings all over the world. he told how one king was fighting another, where there was war and where there was peace, and with other things the second simeon even mentioned deep secrets, quite surprising secrets, which made the tsar archidei smile; and the courtiers, encouraged by the royal smile, roared with laughter.

after crossing himself three times the fellow rolled up his sleeves to the elbow, took a hatchet and one, two without any haste built a vessel. what a curious vessel it was! the tsar archidei watched the wonderful structure from the shore and as soon as the orders were given for sailing, the new vessel sailed away like a white-winged hawk. the cannon were shooting and upon the masts, instead of rigging, were drawn strings upon which musicians were playing the national tunes.

as soon as the wonderful vessel sailed into deep water, the fourth simeon snatched the prow and no trace of it remained on the surface; the whole vessel went to the depths like a heavy stone. in an hour or so simeon, with his left hand, led the ship to the blue surface of the sea again, and with his right he presented to the tsar a most magnificent sturgeon for his "kulibiaka," the famous russian fish pie.

while the tsar archidei enjoyed himself with looking at the marvelous vessel, the fifth simeon built a blacksmith shop in the court back of the palace. there he blew the bellows and heated the iron. the noise from his hammers was great and the result of his peasant work was a self-shooting gun. the tsar archidei aggeivitch went to the wild fields and perceived high above him, very high under the sky, an eagle flying.

some time after this the merchant's son happened to be hunting in a forest. the winds rose, the sky became clouded, the lightning flashed, the thunder roared loudly, and the rain fell in torrents. ivan soon came near a large tree and saw a big nest in the branches. four small birds were in the nest; they were quite alone, and neither father nor mother was there to protect them from the cold and wet. the good ivan pitied them, climbed the tree and covered the little ones with his "kaftan," a long-skirted coat which the russian peasants and merchants usually wear. the thunderstorm passed by and a big bird came flying and sat down on a branch near the nest and spoke very kindly to ivan.

he had only gone a few steps when he heard some one calling him from behind. on turning back he was much surprised to see that the monster dragon had entirely disappeared and in its place was a strange-looking man, who was bowing most ceremoniously to the ground. his red hair streamed over his shoulders and was surmounted by a crown in the shape of a dragon's head, and his sea-green dress was patterned with shells.

hidesato knew at once that this was no ordinary mortal and he wondered much at the strange occurrence. where had the dragon gone in such a short space of time? or had it transformed itself into this man, and what did the whole thing mean? while these thoughts passed through his mind he had come up to the man on the bridge and now addressed him:

hidesato felt very sorry for the dragon king on hearing his story, and readily promised to do what he could to help him. the warrior asked where the centipede lived, so that he might attack the creature at once. the dragon king replied that its home was on the mountain mikami, but that as it came every night at a certain hour to the palace of the lake, it would be better to wait till then. so hidesato was conducted to the palace of the dragon king, under the bridge. strange to say, as he followed his host downwards the waters parted to let them pass, and his clothes did not even feel damp as he passed through the flood.

never had hidesato seen anything so beautiful as this palace built of white marble beneath the lake. he had often heard of the sea king's palace at the bottom of the sea, where all the servants and retainers were salt-water fishes, but here was a magnificent building in the heart of lake biwa. the dainty goldfishes, red carp, and silvery trout, waited upon the dragon king and his guest.

hidesato was astonished at the feast that was spread for him. the dishes were crystallized lotus leaves and flowers, and the chopsticks were of the rarest ebony. as soon as they sat down, the sliding doors opened and ten lovely goldfish dancers came out, and behind them followed ten red-carp musicians with the koto and the samisen. thus the hours flew by till midnight, and the beautiful music and dancing had banished all thoughts of the centipede. the dragon king was about to pledge the warrior in a fresh cup of wine when the palace was suddenly shaken by a tramp, tramp! as if a mighty army had begun to march not far away.

hidesato and his host both rose to their feet and rushed to the balcony, and the warrior saw on the opposite mountain two great balls of glowing fire coming nearer and nearer. the dragon king stood by the warrior's side trembling with fear.

hidesato looked where his host pointed, and, in the dim light of the starlit evening, behind the two balls of fire he saw the long body of an enormous centipede winding round the mountains, and the light in its hundred feet glowed like so many distant lanterns moving slowly towards the shore.

nothing daunted, hidesato took another arrow, fitted it to the notch of the bow and let fly. again the arrow hit the mark, it struck the centipede right in the middle of its head, only to glance off and fall to the ground. the centipede was invulnerable to weapons! when the dragon king saw that even this brave warrior's arrows were powerless to kill the centipede, he lost heart and began to tremble with fear.

the warrior saw that he had now only one arrow left in his quiver, and if this one failed he could not kill the centipede. he looked across the waters. the huge reptile had wound its horrid body seven times round the mountain and would soon come down to the lake. nearer and nearer gleamed fireballs of eyes, and the light of its hundred feet began to throw reflections in the still waters of the lake.

this time the arrow again hit the centipede right in the middle of its head, but instead of glancing off harmlessly as before, it struck home to the creature's brain. then with a convulsive shudder the serpentine body stopped moving, and the fiery light of its great eyes and hundred feet darkened to a dull glare like the sunset of a stormy day, and then went out in blackness. a great darkness now overspread the heavens, the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed, and the wind roared in fury, and it seemed as if the world were coming to an end. the dragon king and his children and retainers all crouched in different parts of the palace, frightened to death, for the building was shaken to its foundation. at last the dreadful night was over. day dawned beautiful and clear. the centipede was gone from the mountain.

another feast was prepared, more sumptuous than the first. all kinds of fish, prepared in every imaginable way, raw, stewed, boiled and roasted, served on coral trays and crystal dishes, were put before him, and the wine was the best that hidesato had ever tasted in his life. to add to the beauty of everything the sun shone brightly, the lake glittered like a liquid diamond, and the palace was a thousand times more beautiful by day than by night.

his host tried to persuade the warrior to stay a few days, but hidesato insisted on going home, saying that he had now finished what he had come to do, and must return. the dragon king and his family were all very sorry to have him leave so soon, but since he would go they begged him to accept a few small presents (so they said) in token of their gratitude to him for delivering them forever from their horrible enemy the centipede.

he never stopped to rest for his noonday meal, and it was far on in the afternoon when he found himself near a large bamboo wood. bamboo groves are the favorite haunts of sparrows, and there sure enough at the edge of the wood he saw his own dear sparrow waiting to welcome him. he could hardly believe his eyes for joy, and ran forward quickly to greet her. she bowed her little head and went through a number of the tricks her master had taught her, to show her pleasure at seeing her old friend again, and, wonderful to relate, she could talk as of old. the old man told her how sorry he was for all that had happened, and inquired after her tongue, wondering how she could speak so well without it. then the sparrow opened her beak and showed him that a new tongue had grown in place of the old one, and begged him not to think any more about the past, for she was quite well now. then the old man knew that his sparrow was a fairy, and no common bird. it would be difficult to exaggerate the old man's rejoicing now. he forgot all his troubles, he forgot even how tired he was, for he had found his lost sparrow, and instead of being ill and without a tongue as he had feared and expected to find her, she was well and happy and with a new tongue, and without a sign of the ill-treatment she had received from his wife.

the sparrow asked him to follow her, and flying before him she led him to a beautiful house in the heart of the bamboo grove. the old man was utterly astonished when he entered the house to find what a beautiful place it was. it was built of the whitest wood, the soft cream-colored mats which took the place of carpets were the finest he had ever seen, and the cushions that the sparrow brought out for him to sit on were made of the finest silk and crape. beautiful vases and lacquer boxes adorned the tokonoma[1] of every room.

then the lady sparrow, as we will now call her, introduced all her family to the old man. this done, her daughters, robed in dainty crape gowns, brought in on beautiful old-fashioned trays a feast of all kinds of delicious foods, till the old man began to think he must be dreaming. in the middle of the dinner some of the sparrow's daughters performed a wonderful dance, called the "suzume-odori" or the "sparrow's dance," to amuse the guest.

but the night came on and the darkness reminded him that he had a long way to go and must think about taking his leave and return home. he thanked his kind hostess for her splendid entertainment, and begged her for his sake to forget all she had suffered at the hands of his cross old wife. he told the lady sparrow that it was a great comfort and happiness to him to find her in such a beautiful home and to know that she wanted for nothing. it was his anxiety to know how she fared and what had really happened to her that had led him to seek her. now he knew that all was well he could return home with a light heart. if ever she wanted him for anything she had only to send for him and he would come at once.

the lady sparrow begged him to stay and rest several days and enjoy the change, but the old man said he must return to his old wife who would probably be cross at his not coming home at the usual time and to his work, and there-fore, much as he wished to do so, he could not accept her kind invitation. but now that he knew where the lady sparrow lived he would come to see her whenever he had the time.

then the sparrows all helped him put it on his back and went to the gate to see him off, bidding him good-by with many bows and entreating him to come again whenever he had the time. thus the old man and his pet sparrow separated quite happily, the sparrow showing not the least ill-will for all the unkindness she had suffered at the hands of the old wife. indeed, she only felt sorrow for the old man who had to put up with it all his life.

to their utter astonishment they found the box filled to the brim with gold and silver coins and many other precious things. the mats of their little cottage fairly glittered as they took out the things one by one and put them down and handled them over and over again. the old man was overjoyed at the sight of the riches that were now his. beyond his brightest expectations was the sparrow's gift, which would enable him to give up work and live in ease and comfort the rest of his days.

but the old woman, after the first moments of surprise and satisfaction at the sight of the gold and silver were over, could not suppress the greed of her wicked nature. she now began to reproach the old man for not having brought home the big box of presents, for in the innocence of his heart he had told her how he had refused the large box of presents which the sparrows had offered him, preferring the smaller one because it was light and easy to carry home.

at last this greedy and selfish old woman put down the box by the wayside and opened it carefully, expecting to gloat her eyes on a mine of wealth. what she saw, however, so terrified her that she nearly lost her senses. as soon as she lifted the lid, a number of horrible and frightful looking demons bounced out of the box and surrounded her as if they intended to kill her. not even in nightmares had she ever seen such horrible creatures as her much-coveted box contained. a demon with one huge eye right in the middle of its forehead came and glared at her, monsters with gaping mouths looked as if they would devour her, a huge snake coiled and hissed about her, and a big frog hopped and croaked towards her.

the boys were not bad boys at all, they were only mischievous, and as urashima spoke they were won by his kind smile and gentle words and began "to be of his spirit," as they say in japan. gradually they all came up to him, the ringleader of the little band holding out the tortoise to him.

the next morning urashima went out as usual in his boat. the weather was fine and the sea and sky were both blue and soft in the tender haze of the summer morning. urashima got into his boat and dreamily pushed out to sea, throwing his line as he did so. he soon passed the other fishing boats and left them behind him till they were lost to sight in the distance, and his boat drifted further and further out upon the blue waters. somehow, he knew not why, he felt unusually happy that morning; and he could not help wishing that, like the tortoise he set free the day before, he had thousands of years to live instead of his own short span of human life.

urashima, being only a poor fisher lad, did not know how to behave in a palace; but, strange though it was all to him, he did not feel ashamed or embarrassed, but followed his kind guides quite calmly where they led to the inner palace. when he reached the portals a beautiful princess with her attendant maidens came out to welcome him. she was more beautiful than any human being, and was robed in flowing garments of red and soft green like the under side of a wave, and golden threads glimmered through the folds of her gown. her lovely black hair streamed over her shoulders in the fashion of a king's daughter many hundreds of years ago, and when she spoke her voice sounded like music over the water. urashima was lost in wonder while he looked upon her, and he could not speak. then he remembered that he ought to bow, but before he could make a low obeisance the princess took him by the hand and led him to a beautiful hall, and to the seat of honor at the upper end, and bade him be seated.

the farmer and the badger
the__<label>__DET farmer__<label>__NOUN and__<label>__CONJ the__<label>__DET badger__<label>__NOUN
long, long ago, there lived an old farmer and his wife who had made their home in the mountains, far from any town. their only neighbor was a bad and malicious badger. this badger used to come out every night and run across to the farmer's field and spoil the vegetables and the rice which the farmer spent his time in carefully cultivating. the badger at last grew so ruthless in his mischievous work, and did so much harm everywhere on the farm, that the good-natured farmer could not stand it any longer, and determined to put a stop to it. so he lay in wait day after day and night after night, with a big club, hoping to catch the badger, but all in vain. then he laid traps for the wicked animal.

the farmer's trouble and patience was rewarded, for one fine day on going his rounds he found the badger caught in a hole he had dug for that purpose. the farmer was delighted at having caught his enemy, and carried him home securely bound with rope. when he reached the house the farmer said to his wife:

saying this, he hung the badger up to the rafters of his storehouse and went out to his work in the fields. the badger was in great distress, for he did not at all like the idea of being made into soup that night, and he thought and thought for a long time, trying to hit upon some plan by which he might escape. it was hard to think clearly in his uncomfortable position, for he had been hung upside down. very near him, at the entrance to the storehouse, looking out towards the green fields and the trees and the pleasant sunshine, stood the farmer's old wife pounding barley. she looked tired and old. her face was seamed with many wrinkles, and was as brown as leather, and every now and then she stopped to wipe the perspiration which rolled down her face.

the old woman had a good and simple nature, and could not think badly of any one. much less did she think that the badger was only deceiving her in order to get away. she felt sorry, too, for the animal as she turned to look at him. he looked in such a sad plight hanging downwards from the ceiling by his legs, which were all tied together so tightly that the rope and the knots were cutting into the skin. so in the kindness of her heart, and believing the creature's promise that he would not run away, she untied the cord and let him down.

the old woman then gave him the wooden pestle and told him to do the work for a short time while she rested. he took the pestle, but instead of doing the work as he was told, the badger at once sprang upon the old woman and knocked her down with the heavy piece of wood. he then killed her and cut her up and made soup of her, and waited for the return of the old farmer. the old man worked hard in his fields all day, and as he worked he thought with pleasure that no more now would his labor be spoiled by the destructive badger.

towards sunset he left his work and turned to go home. he was very tired, but the thought of the nice supper of hot badger soup awaiting his return cheered him. the thought that the badger might get free and take revenge on the poor old woman never once came into his mind.

the old farmer quickly took off his straw sandals and sat down before his tiny dinner-tray. the innocent man never even dreamed that it was not his wife but the badger who was waiting upon him, and asked at once for the soup. then the badger suddenly transformed himself back to his natural form and cried out:

laughing loudly and derisively he escaped out of the house and ran away to his den in the hills. the old man was left behind alone. he could hardly believe what he had seen and heard. then when he understood the whole truth he was so scared and horrified that he fainted right away.

after a while he came round and burst into tears. he cried loudly and bitterly. he rocked himself to and fro in his hopeless grief. it seemed too terrible to be real that his faithful old wife had been killed and cooked by the badger while he was working quietly in the fields, knowing nothing of what was going on at home, and congratulating himself on having once for all got rid of the wicked animal who had so often spoiled his fields. and oh! the horrible thought; he had very nearly drunk the soup which the creature had made of his poor old woman. "oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" he wailed aloud. now, not far away there lived in the same mountain a kind, good-natured old rabbit. he heard the old man crying and sobbing and at once set out to see what was the matter, and if there was anything he could do to help his neighbor. the old man told him all that had happened. when the rabbit heard the story he was very angry at the wicked and deceitful badger, and told the old man to leave everything to him and he would avenge his wife's death. the farmer was at last comforted, and, wiping away his tears, thanked the rabbit for his goodness in coming to him in his distress.

the next day the weather was fine, and the rabbit went out to find the badger. he was not to be seen in the woods or on the hillside or in the fields anywhere, so the rabbit went to his den and found the badger hiding there, for the animal had been afraid to show himself ever since he had escaped from the farmer's house, for fear of the old man's wrath.

the badger, never doubting but that the rabbit was his friend, willingly consented to go out with him, only too glad to get away from the neighborhood of the farmer and the fear of meeting him. the rabbit led the way miles away from their homes, out on the hills where the grass grew tall and thick and sweet. they both set to work to cut down as much as they could carry home, to store it up for their winter's food. when they had each cut down all they wanted they tied it in bundles and then started homewards, each carrying his bundle of grass on his back. this time the rabbit made the badger go first.

by this time the bundle was nearly burned out and all the hair had been burned off the badger's back. he now knew what had happened by the smell of the smoke of the burning grass. screaming with pain the badger ran as fast as he could to his hole. the rabbit followed and found him lying on his bed groaning with pain.

he carried this to the badger, but before putting it on he told him that it would cause him great pain, but that he must bear it patiently, because it was a very wonderful medicine for burns and scalds and such wounds. the badger thanked him and begged him to apply it at once. but no language can describe the agony of the badger as soon as the red pepper had been pasted all over his sore back. he rolled over and over and howled loudly. the rabbit, looking on, felt that the farmer's wife was beginning to be avenged.

he kept the wooden boat himself and gave the badger the clay boat. the badger, who knew nothing about boats, was delighted with his new boat and thought how kind it was of the rabbit to give it to him. they both got into their boats and set out. after going some distance from the shore the rabbit proposed that they should try their boats and see which one could go the quickest. the badger fell in with the proposal, and they both set to work to row as fast as they could for some time.

long, long ago there lived in kyoto a brave soldier named kintoki. now he fell in love with a beautiful lady and married her. not long after this, through the malice of some of his friends, he fell into disgrace at court and was dismissed. this misfortune so preyed upon his mind that he did not long survive his dismissal he died, leaving behind him his beautiful young wife to face the world alone. fearing her husband's enemies, she fled to the ashigara mountains as soon as her husband was dead, and there in the lonely forests where no one ever came except woodcutters, a little boy was born to her. she called him kintaro or the golden boy. now the remarkable thing about this child was his great strength, and as he grew older he grew stronger and stronger, so that by the time he was eight years of age he was able to cut down trees as quickly as the woodcutters. then his mother gave him a large ax, and he used to go out in the forest and help the woodcutters, who called him "wonder-child," and his mother the "old nurse of the mountains," for they did not know her high rank. another favorite pastime of kintaro's was to smash up rocks and stones. you can imagine how strong he was!

quite unlike other boys, kintaro, grew up all alone in the mountain wilds, and as he had no companions he made friends with all the animals and learned to understand them and to speak their strange talk. by degrees they all grew quite tame and looked upon kintaro as their master, and he used them as his servants and messengers. but his special retainers were the bear, the deer, the monkey and the hare.

kintaro then opened his luncheon box and taking out a rice-dumpling, gave it to the hare saying:

then kintaro consenting, the hare and the monkey began to wrestle again. now, as every one knows, the monkey is a cunning animal by nature, and he made up his mind to get the best of the hare this time if it were possible. to do this, he thought that the best and surest way would be to get hold of the hare's long ear. this he soon managed to do. the hare was quite thrown off his guard by the pain of having his long ear pulled so hard, and the monkey seizing his opportunity at last, caught hold of one of the hare's legs and sent him sprawling in the middle of the dais. the monkey was now the victor and received, a rice-dumpling from kintaro, which pleased him so much that he quite forgot his sore back.

not long after the death of his first wife, prince toyonari married again, a lady of noble birth named princess terute. very different in character, alas! to the good and wise princess murasaki, this woman had a cruel, bad heart. she did not love her step-daughter at all, and was often very unkind to the little motherless girl, saving to herself:

hase-hime was a skilled musician though so young, and often astonished her masters by her wonderful memory and talent. on this momentous occasion she played well. but princess terute, her step-mother, who was a lazy woman and never took the trouble to practice daily, broke down in her accompaniment and had to request one of the court ladies to take her place. this was a great disgrace, and she was furiously jealous to think that she had failed where her step-daughter succeeded; and to make matters worse the emperor sent many beautiful gifts to the little princess to reward her for playing so well at the palace.

it was the rainy season at nara, and floods were reported every day as doing damage in the neighborhood. the river tatsuta, which flowed through the imperial palace grounds, was swollen to the top of its banks, and the roaring of the torrents of water rushing along a narrow bed so disturbed the emperor's rest day and night, that a serious nervous disorder was the result. an imperial edict was sent forth to all the buddhist temples commanding the priests to offer up continuous prayers to heaven to stop the noise of the flood. but this was of no avail.

then it was whispered in court circles that the princess hase, the daughter of prince toyonari fujiwara, second minister at court, was the most gifted poetess of the day, though still so young, and her masters confirmed the report. long ago, a beautiful and gifted maiden-poetess had moved heaven by praying in verse, had brought down rain upon a land famished with drought so said the ancient biographers of the poetess ono-no-komachi. if the princess hase were to write a poem and offer it in prayer, might it not stop the noise of the rushing river and remove the cause of the imperial illness? what the court said at last reached the ears of the emperor himself, and he sent an order to the minister prince toyonari to this effect.

katoda, her vassal, was bound to obey his mistress. anyhow, he saw that it would be the wisest plan to pretend obedience in the absence of the girl's father, so he placed hase-hime in a palanquin and accompanied her to the most solitary place he could find in the wild district. the poor child knew there was no good in protesting to her unkind step-mother at being sent away in this strange manner, so she went as she was told.

but the old servant knew that the young princess was quite innocent of all the things her step-mother had invented to him as reasons for her outrageous orders, and he determined to save her life. unless he killed her, however, he could not return to his cruel task-mistress, so he decided to stay out in the wilderness. with the help of some peasants he soon built a little cottage, and having sent secretly for his wife to come, these two good old people did all in their power to take care of the now unfortunate princess. she all the time trusted in her father, knowing that as soon as he returned home and found her absent, he would search for her.

this odd answer irritated sentaro very much, and he thought how foolish it was to waste more time in looking for the hermits in this way, so he decided to go at once to the shrine of jofuku, who is worshiped as the patron god of the hermits in the south of japan.

"your desire is a very selfish one and cannot be easily granted. you think that you would like to become a hermit so as to find the elixir of life. do you know how hard a hermit's life is? a hermit is only allowed to eat fruit and berries and the bark of pine trees; a hermit must cut himself off from the world so that his heart may become as pure as gold and free from every earthly desire. gradually after following these strict rules, the hermit ceases to feel hunger or cold or heat, and his body becomes so light that he can ride on a crane or a carp, and can walk on water without getting his feet wet."

at last, however, most of the men, seeing how hopeless their quest was, lost heart and hope both, and returned to their homes. all except five knights, whose ardor and determination, instead of waning, seemed to wax greater with obstacles. these five men even went without their meals, and took snatches of whatever they could get brought to them, so that they might always stand outside the dwelling. they stood there in all weathers, in sunshine and in rain.

the five knights on receiving this stern answer returned to their several homes, and pondered over the best means of touching the proud princess's heart, even so much as to grant them a hearing. they took their rosaries in hand and knelt before their household shrines, and burned precious incense, praying to buddha to give them their heart's desire. thus several days passed, but even so they could not rest in their homes.

so again they set out for the bamboo-cutter's house. this time the old man came out to see them, and they asked him to let them know if it was the princess's resolution never to see any man whatsoever, and they implored him to speak for them and to tell her the greatness of their love, and how long they had waited through the cold of winter and the heat of summer, sleepless and roofless through all weathers, without food and without rest, in the ardent hope of winning her, and they were willing to consider this long vigil as pleasure if she would but give them one chance of pleading their cause with her.

princess moonlight wondered that the knight should have returned so soon. she took the bowl from its gold wrapping, expecting it to make the room full of light, but it did not shine at all, so she knew that it was a sham thing and not the true bowl of buddha. she returned it at once and refused to see him. the knight threw the bowl away and returned to his home in despair. he gave up now all hopes of ever winning the princess.

the second knight told his parents that he needed change of air for his health, for he was ashamed to tell them that love for the princess moonlight was the real cause of his leaving them. he then left his home, at the same time sending word to the princess that he was setting out for mount horai in the hope of getting her a branch of the gold and silver tree which she so much wished to have. he only allowed his servants to accompany him half-way, and then sent them back. he reached the seashore and embarked on a small ship, and after sailing away for three days he landed and employed several carpenters to build him a house contrived in such a way that no one could get access to it. he then shut himself up with six skilled jewelers, and endeavored to make such a gold and silver branch as he thought would satisfy the princess as having come from the wonderful tree growing on mount horai. every one whom he had asked declared that mount horai belonged to the land of fable and not to fact.

when the branch was finished, he took his journey home and tried to make himself look as if he were wearied and worn out with travel. he put the jeweled branch into a lacquer box and carried it to the bamboo-cutter, begging him to present it to the princess.

the old man was quite deceived by the travel-stained appearance of the knight, and thought that he had only just returned from his long journey with the branch. so he tried to persuade the princess to consent to see the man. but she remained silent and looked very sad.

the old man began to take out the branch and praised it as a wonderful treasure to be found nowhere in the whole land. then he spoke of the knight, how handsome and how brave he was to have undertaken a journey to so remote a place as the mount of horai.

princess moonlight took the branch in her hand and looked at it carefully. she then told her foster-parent that she knew it was impossible for the man to have obtained a branch from the gold and silver tree growing on mount horai so quickly or so easily, and she was sorry to say she believed it artificial.

after going before the wind for some time i reached the far eastern sea. then a great storm arose and i was tossed about for many days, losing all count of the points of the compass, and finally we were blown ashore on an unknown island. here i found the place inhabited by demons who at one time threatened to kill and eat me. however, i managed to make friends with these horrible creatures, and they helped me and my sailors to repair the boat, and i set sail again. our food gave out, and we suffered much from sickness on board. at last, on the five-hundredth day from the day of starting, i saw far off on the horizon what looked like the peak of a mountain. on nearer approach, this proved to be an island, in the center of which rose a high mountain. i landed, and after wandering about for two or three days, i saw a shining being coming towards me on the beach, holding in his hands a golden bowl. i went up to him and asked him if i had, by good chance, found the island of mount horai, and he answered:"

just at this moment the six jewelers, who had been employed on the making of the branch, but not yet paid by the knight, arrived at the house and sent in a petition to the princess to be paid for their labor. they said that they had worked for over a thousand days making the branch of gold, with its silver twigs and its jeweled fruit, that was now presented to her by the knight, but as yet they had received nothing in payment. so this knight's deception was thus found out, and the princess, glad of an escape from one more importunate suitor, was only too pleased to send back the branch. she called in the workmen and had them paid liberally, and they went away happy. but on the way home they were overtaken by the disappointed man, who beat them till they were nearly dead, for letting out the secret, and they barely escaped with their lives. the knight then returned home, raging in his heart; and in despair of ever winning the princess gave up society and retired to a solitary life among the mountains.

now the third knight had a friend in china, so he wrote to him to get the skin of the fire-rat. the virtue of any part of this animal was that no fire could harm it. he promised his friend any amount of money he liked to ask if only he could get him the desired article. as soon as the news came that the ship on which his friend had sailed home had come into port, he rode seven days on horseback to meet him. he handed his friend a large sum of money, and received the fire-rat's skin. when he reached home he put it carefully in a box and sent it in to the princess while he waited outside for her answer.

the bamboo-cutter took the box from the knight and, as usual, carried it in to her and tried to coax her to see the knight at once, but princess moonlight refused, saying that she must first put the skin to test by putting it into the fire. if it were the real thing it would not burn. so she took off the crape wrapper and opened the box, and then threw the skin into the fire. the skin crackled and burnt up at once, and the princess knew that this man also had not fulfilled his word. so the third knight failed also.

now the fourth knight was no more enterprising than the rest. instead of starting out on the quest of the dragon bearing on its head the five-color-radiating jewel, he called all his servants together and gave them the order to seek for it far and wide in japan and in china, and he strictly forbade any of them to return till they had found it.

one year passed away in weary waiting, and still his men did not return with the dragon-jewel. the knight became desperate. he could wait no longer, so taking with him only two men he hired a ship and commanded the captain to go in search of the dragon; the captain and the sailors refused to undertake what they said was an absurd search, but the knight compelled them at last to put out to sea.

when they had been but a few days out they encountered a great storm which lasted so long that, by the time its fury abated, the knight had determined to give up the hunt of the dragon. they were at last blown on shore, for navigation was primitive in those days. worn out with his travels and anxiety, the fourth suitor gave himself up to rest. he had caught a very heavy cold, and had to go to bed with a swollen face.

the old man gave orders that no one was to sleep that night, all in the house were to keep a strict watch, and be ready to protect the princess. with these precautions, and the help of the emperor's men-at-arms, he hoped to withstand the moon-messengers, but the princess told him that all these measures to keep her would be useless, and that when her people came for her nothing whatever could prevent them from carrying out their purpose. even the emperors men would be powerless. then she added with tears that she was very, very sorry to leave him and his wife, whom she had learned to love as her parents, that if she could do as she liked she would stay with them in their old age, and try to make some return for all the love and kindness they had showered upon her during all her earthly life.

the bereaved father and daughter were wild with grief, and they abandoned themselves to their bitter sorrow. they felt it to be impossible to take leave of the loved woman who till now had filled their whole lives and to commit her body to the earth. but this frantic burst of grief passed, and then they took possession of their own hearts again, crushed though they were in resignation. in spite of this the daughter's life seemed to her desolate. her love for her dead mother did not grow less with time, and so keen was her remembrance, that everything in daily life, even the falling of the rain and the blowing of the wind, reminded her of her mother's death and of all that they had loved and shared together. one day when her father was out, and she was fulfilling her household duties alone, her loneliness and sorrow seemed more than she could bear. she threw herself down in her mother's room and wept as if her heart would break. poor child, she longed just for one glimpse of the loved face, one sound of the voice calling her pet name, or for one moment's forgetfulness of the aching void in her heart. suddenly she sat up. her mother's last words had rung through her memory hitherto dulled by grief.

sometimes she went to her husband and complained of her step-daughter's behavior, but the father knowing that this was to be expected, took no notice of her ill-natured complaints. instead of lessening his affection for his daughter, as the woman desired, her grumblings only made him think of her the more. the woman soon saw that he began to show more concern for his lonely child than before. this did not please her at all, and she began to turn over in her mind how she could, by some means or other, drive her step-child out of the house. so crooked did the woman's heart become.

the husband listened to the dreadful tale, but he could not believe his gentle daughter guilty of such an evil act. he knew that by popular superstition people believed that one person could cause the gradual death of another by making an image of the hated one and cursing it daily; but where had his young daughter learned such knowledge? the thing was impossible. yet he remembered having noticed that his daughter stayed much in her room of late and kept herself away from every one, even when visitors came to the house. putting this fact together with his wife's alarm, he thought that there might be something to account for the strange story.

the girl had for a long time past been very unhappy. she had tried by amiability and obedience to show her goodwill and to mollify the new wife, and to break down that wall of prejudice and misunderstanding that she knew generally stood between step-parents and their step-children. but she soon found that her efforts were in vain. the step-mother never trusted her, and seemed to misinterpret all her actions, and the poor child knew very well that she often carried unkind and untrue tales to her father. she could not help comparing her present unhappy condition with the time when her own mother was alive only a little more than a year ago so great a change in this short time! morning and evening she wept over the remembrance. whenever she could she went to her room, and sliding the screens to, took out the mirror and gazed, as she thought, at her mother's face. it was the only comfort that she had in these wretched days.

her father found her occupied in this way. pushing aside the fusama, he saw her bending over something or other very intently. looking over her shoulder, to see who was entering her room, the girl was surprised to see her father, for he generally sent for her when he wished to speak to her. she was also confused at being found looking at the mirror, for she had never told any one of her mother's last promise, but had kept it as the sacred secret of her heart. so before turning to her father she slipped the mirror into her long sleeve. her father noting her confusion, and her act of hiding something, said in a severe manner:

long, long ago there was a large plain called adachigahara, in the province of mutsu in japan. this place was said to be haunted by a cannibal goblin who took the form of an old woman. from time to time many travelers disappeared and were never heard of more, and the old women round the charcoal braziers in the evenings, and the girls washing the household rice at the wells in the mornings, whispered dreadful stories of how the missing folk had been lured to the goblin's cottage and devoured, for the goblin lived only on human flesh. no one dared to venture near the haunted spot after sunset, and all those who could, avoided it in the daytime, and travelers were warned of the dreaded place.

one day as the sun was setting, a priest came to the plain. he was a belated traveler, and his robe showed that he was a buddhist pilgrim walking from shrine to shrine to pray for some blessing or to crave for forgiveness of sins. he had apparently lost his way, and as it was late he met no one who could show him the road or warn him of the haunted spot.

keeping the light before his eyes he dragged his weary, aching feet as quickly as he could towards the spot, and soon came to a miserable-looking little cottage. as he drew near he saw that it was in a tumble-down condition, the bamboo fence was broken and weeds and grass pushed their way through the gaps. the paper screens which serve as windows and doors in japan were full of holes, and the posts of the house were bent with age and seemed scarcely able to support the old thatched roof. the hut was open, and by the light of an old lantern an old woman sat industriously spinning.

the old woman then went out again, and the priest was left alone. the fire had died out, and the only light in the hut was that of a dim lantern. for the first time that night he began to feel that he was in a weird place, and the old woman's words, "whatever you do don't peep into the back room," aroused his curiosity and his fear.

with these words he got up on his feet (for he had been sitting all this time in japanese fashion with his feet under him) and stealthily crept towards the forbidden spot. with trembling hands he pushed back the sliding door and looked in. what he saw froze the blood in his veins. the room was full of dead men's bones and the walls were splashed and the floor was covered with human blood. in one corner skull upon skull rose to the ceiling, in another was a heap of arm bones, in another a heap of leg bones. the sickening smell made him faint. he fell backwards with horror, and for some time lay in a heap with fright on the floor, a pitiful sight. he trembled all over and his teeth chattered, and he could hardly crawl away from the dreadful spot.

so the matter was settled by this talk, and the two brothers each started out to try the other's occupation, little dreaming of all that would happen. it was very unwise of them, for the happy hunter knew nothing of fishing, and the skillful fisher, who was bad tempered, knew as much about hunting.

the happy hunter took his brother's much-prized fishing hook and rod and went down to the seashore and sat down on the rocks. he baited his hook and then threw it into the sea clumsily. he sat and gazed at the little float bobbing up and down in the water, and longed for a good fish to come and be caught. every time the buoy moved a little he pulled up his rod, but there was never a fish at the end of it, only the hook and the bait. if he had known how to fish properly, he would have been able to catch plenty of fish, but although he was the greatest hunter in the land he could not help being the most bungling fisher.

the whole day passed in this way, while he sat on the rocks holding the fishing rod and waiting in vain for his luck to turn. at last the day began to darken, and the evening came; still he had caught not a single fish. drawing up his line for the last time before going home, he found that he had lost his hook without even knowing when he had dropped it.

he now began to feel extremely anxious, for he knew that his brother would be angry at his having lost his hook, for, it being his only one, he valued it above all other things. the happy hunter now set to work to look among the rocks and on the sand for the lost hook, and while he was searching to and fro, his brother, the skillful fisher, arrived on the scene. he had failed to find any game while hunting that day, and was not only in a bad temper, but looked fearfully cross. when he saw the happy hunter searching about on the shore he knew that something must have gone wrong, so he said at once:

the happy hunter felt that he was to blame for all that had come to pass, and bore his brother's scornful scolding with humility and patience. he hunted everywhere for the hook most diligently, but it was nowhere to be found. he was at last obliged to give up all hope of finding it. he then went home, and in desperation broke his beloved sword into pieces and made five hundred hooks out of it.

nothing would appease the anger of the skillful fisher, for he had a bad disposition, and had always hated his brother because of his virtues, and now with the excuse of the lost fishing hook he planned to kill him and to usurp his place as ruler of japan. the happy hunter knew all this full well, but he could say nothing, for being the younger he owed his elder brother obedience; so he returned to the seashore and once more began to look for the missing hook. he was much cast down, for he had lost all hope of ever finding his brother's hook now. while he stood on the beach, lost in perplexity and wondering what he had best do next, an old man suddenly appeared carrying a stick in his hand. the happy hunter afterwards remembered that he did not see from whence the old man came, neither did he know how he was there he happened to look up and saw the old man coming towards him.

the happy hunter made all the haste he could, riding on the basket which had been given him by his friend. his queer boat seemed to go through the water of its own accord, and the distance was much shorter than he had expected, for in a few hours he caught sight of the gate and the roof of the sea king's palace. and what a large place it was, with its numberless sloping roofs and gables, its huge gateways, and its gray stone walls! he soon landed, and leaving his basket on the beach, he walked up to the large gateway. the pillars of the gate were made of beautiful red coral, and the gate itself was adorned with glittering gems of all kinds. large katsura trees overshadowed it. our hero had often heard of the wonders of the sea king's palace beneath the sea, but all the stories he had ever heard fell short of the reality which he now saw for the first time.

the happy hunter would have liked to enter the gate there and then, but he saw that it was fast closed, and also that there was no one about whom he could ask to open it for him, so he stopped to think what he should do. in the shade of the trees before the gate he noticed a well full of fresh spring water. surely some one would come out to draw water from the well some time, he thought. then he climbed into the tree overhanging the well, and seated himself to rest on one of the branches, and waited for what might happen. ere long he saw the huge gate swing open, and two beautiful women came out. now the mikoto (augustness) had always heard that ryn gu was the realm of the dragon king under the sea, and had naturally supposed that the place was inhabited by dragons and similar terrible creatures, so that when he saw these two lovely princesses, whose beauty would be rare even in the world from which he had just come, he was exceedingly surprised, and wondered what it could mean.

he said not a word, however, but silently gazed at them through the foliage of the trees, waiting to see what they would do. he saw that in their hands they carried golden buckets. slowly and gracefully in their trailing garments they approached the well, standing in the shade of the katsura trees, and were about to draw water, all unknowing of the stranger who was watching them, for the happy hunter was quite hidden among the branches of the tree where he had posted himself.

there was much gladness between the sea king and the happy hunter, and they sat and talked for a long time. at last the sea king clapped his hands, and then a huge retinue of fishes appeared, all robed in ceremonial garments, and bearing in their fins various trays on which all kinds of sea delicacies were served. a great feast was now spread before the king and his royal guest. all the fishes-in-waiting were chosen from amongst the finest fish in the sea, so you can imagine what a wonderful array of sea creatures it was that waited upon the happy hunter that day. all in the palace tried to do their best to please him and to show him that he was a much honored guest. during the long repast, which lasted for hours, ryn jin commanded his daughters to play some music, and the two princesses came in and performed on the koto (the japanese harp), and sang and danced in turns. the time passed so pleasantly that the happy hunter seemed to forget his trouble and why he had come at all to the sea king's realm, and he gave himself up to the enjoyment of this wonderful place, the land of fairy fishes! who has ever heard of such a marvelous place? but the mikoto soon remembered what had brought him to ryn gu, and said to his host:

ryn jin now desired to punish the tai, but the happy hunter begged him not to do so; since his lost hook was thus happily recovered he did not wish to make more trouble for the poor tai. it was indeed the tai who had taken the hook, but he had already suffered enough for his fault, if fault it could be called. what had been done was done in heedlessness and not by intention. the happy hunter said he blamed himself; if he had understood how to fish properly he would never have lost his hook, and therefore all this trouble had been caused in the first place by his trying to do something which he did not know how to do. so he begged the sea king to forgive his subject.

then ryn jin showed his friend how to use the talismans one by one and handed them to him. the happy hunter was very glad to have these two wonderful gems, the jewel of the flood tide and the jewel of the ebbing tide, to take back with him, for he felt that they would preserve him in case of danger from enemies at any time. after thanking his kind host again and again, he prepared to depart. the sea king and the two princesses, tayotama and tamayori, and all the inmates of the palace, came out to say "good-by," and before the sound of the last farewell had died away the happy hunter passed out from under the gateway, past the well of happy memory standing in the shade of the great katsura trees on his way to the beach.

here he found, instead of the queer basket on which he had come to the realm of ryn gu, a large crocodile waiting for him. never had he seen such a huge creature. it measured eight fathoms in length from the tip of its tail to the end of its long mouth. the sea king had ordered the monster to carry the happy hunter back to japan. like the wonderful basket which shiwozuchino okina had made, it could travel faster than any steamboat, and in this strange way, riding on the back of a crocodile, the happy hunter returned to his own land.

as soon as the crocodile landed him, the happy hunter hastened to tell the skillful fisher of his safe return. he then gave him back the fishing hook which had been found in the mouth of the tai and which had been the cause of so much trouble between them. he earnestly begged his brother's forgiveness, telling him all that had happened to him in the sea king's palace and what wonderful adventures had led to the finding of the hook.

now the skillful fisher had used the lost hook as an excuse for driving his brother out of the country. when his brother had left him that day three years ago, and had not returned, he had been very glad in his evil heart and had at once usurped his brother's place as ruler of the land, and had become powerful and rich. now in the midst of enjoying what did not belong to him, and hoping that his brother might never return to claim his rights, quite unexpectedly there stood the happy hunter before him.

the skillful fisher feigned forgiveness, for he could make no more excuses for sending his brother away again, but in his heart he was very angry and hated his brother more and more, till at last he could no longer bear the sight of him day after day, and planned and watched for an opportunity to kill him.

one day when the happy hunter was walking in the rice fields his brother followed him with a dagger. the happy hunter knew that his brother was following him to kill him, and he felt that now, in this hour of great danger, was the time to use the jewels of the flow and ebb of the tide and prove whether what the sea king had told him was true or not.

so he took out the jewel of the flood tide from the bosom of his dress and raised it to his forehead. instantly over the fields and over the farms the sea came rolling in wave upon wave till it reached the spot where his brother was standing. the skillful fisher stood amazed and terrified to see what was happening. in another minute he was struggling in the water and calling on his brother to save him from drowning.

the happy hunter had a kind heart and could not bear the sight of his brother's distress. he at once put back the jewel of the flood tide and took out the jewel of the ebb tide. no sooner did he hold it up as high as his forehead than the sea ran back and back, and ere long the tossing rolling floods had vanished, and the farms and fields and dry land appeared as before.

the skillful fisher was very frightened at the peril of death in which he had stood, and was greatly impressed by the wonderful things he had seen his brother do. he learned now that he was making a fatal mistake to set himself against his brother, younger than he thought he was, for he now had become so powerful that the sea would flow in and the tide ebb at his word of command. so he humbled himself before the happy hunter and asked him to forgive him all the wrong he had done him. the skillful fisher promised to restore his brother to his rights and also swore that though the happy hunter was the younger brother and owed him allegiance by right of birth, that he, the skillful fisher, would exalt him as his superior and bow before him as lord of all japan.

long, long ago there lived an old man and his wife who supported themselves by cultivating a small plot of land. their life had been a very happy and peaceful one save for one great sorrow, and this was they had no child. their only pet was a dog named shiro, and on him they lavished all the affection of their old age. indeed, they loved him so much that whenever they had anything nice to eat they denied themselves to give it to shiro. now shiro means "white," and he was so called because of his color. he was a real japanese dog, and very like a small wolf in appearance.

the happiest hour of the day both for the old man and his dog was when the man returned from his work in the field, and having finished his frugal supper of rice and vegetables, would take what he had saved from the meal out to the little veranda that ran round the cottage. sure enough, shiro was waiting for his master and the evening tit-bit. then the old man said "chin, chin!" and shiro sat up and begged, and his master gave him the food. next door to this good old couple there lived another old man and his wife who were both wicked and cruel, and who hated their good neighbors and the dog shiro with all their might.

the thought that something might be hidden beneath the tree, and that the dog had scented it, at last struck the old man. he ran back to the house, fetched his spade and began to dig the ground at that spot. what was his astonishment when, after digging for some time, he came upon a heap of old and valuable coins, and the deeper he dug the more gold coins did he find. so intent was the old man on his work that he never saw the cross face of his neighbor peering at him through the bamboo hedge. at last all the gold coins lay shining on the ground. shiro sat by erect with pride and looking fondly at his master as if to say, "you see, though only a dog, i can make some return for all the kindness you show me."

the cross old neighbor, attracted by shiro's barking, had been an unseen and envious witness of the finding of the treasure. he began to think that he, too, would like to find a fortune. so a few days later he called at the old man's house and very ceremoniously asked permission to borrow shiro for a short time.

shiro's master thought this a strange request, because he knew quite well that not only did his neighbor not love his pet dog, but that he never lost an opportunity of striking and tormenting him whenever the dog crossed his path. but the good old man was too kind-hearted to refuse his neighbor, so he consented to lend the dog on condition that he should be taken great care of.

the wicked old man returned to his home with an evil smile on his face, and told his wife how he had succeeded in his crafty intentions. he then took his spade and hastened to his own field, forcing the unwilling shiro to follow him. as soon as he reached a yenoki tree, he said to the dog, threateningly:

the old man was very pleased when he saw the dog begin to scratch and dig, for he at once supposed that some gold coins lay buried under his tree as well as under his neighbor's, and that the dog had scented them as before; so pushing shiro away he began to dig himself, but there was nothing to be found. as he went on digging a foul smell was noticeable, and he at last came upon a refuse heap.

the old man's disgust can be imagined. this soon gave way to anger. he had seen his neighbor's good fortune, and hoping for the same luck himself, he had borrowed the dog shiro; and now, just as he seemed on the point of finding what he sought, only a horrid smelling refuse heap had rewarded him for a morning's digging. instead of blaming his own greed for his disappointment, he blamed the poor dog. he seized his spade, and with all his strength struck shiro and killed him on the spot. he then threw the dog's body into the hole which he had dug in the hope of finding a treasure of gold coins, and covered it over with the earth. then he returned to the house, telling no one, not even his wife, what he had done.

after waiting several days, as the dog shiro did not return, his master began to grow anxious. day after day went by and the good old man waited in vain. then he went to his neighbor and asked him to give him back his dog. without any shame or hesitation, the wicked neighbor answered that he had killed shiro because of his bad behavior. at this dreadful news shiro's master wept many sad and bitter tears. great indeed, was his woful surprise, but he was too good and gentle to reproach his bad neighbor. learning that shiro was buried under the yenoki tree in the field, he asked the old man to give him the tree, in remembrance of his poor dog shiro.

the greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked leave to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog's memory.

wonderful, indeed, was the result! the withered tree at once burst into full bloom! the daimio was so transported with joy that he looked as if he would go mad. he rose to his feet and spread out his fan, calling the old man down from the tree. he himself gave the old man a wine cup filled with the best sake, and rewarded him with much silver and gold and many other precious things. the daimio ordered that henceforth the old man should call himself by the name of hana-saka-jijii, or "the old man who makes the trees to blossom," and that henceforth all were to recognize him by this name, and he sent him home with great honor.

the wicked neighbor, as before, heard of the good old man's fortune, and of all that had so auspiciously befallen him, and he could not suppress all the envy and jealousy that filled his heart. he called to mind how he had failed in his attempt to find the gold coins, and then in making the magic cakes; this time surely he must succeed if he imitated the old man, who made withered trees to flower simply by sprinkling ashes on them. this would be the simplest task of all.

the king fell in love with her at once, and the wedding ceremony was celebrated with great splendor. every living thing in the sea, from the great whales down to the little shrimps, came in shoals to offer their congratulations to the bride and bridegroom and to wish them a long and prosperous life. never had there been such an assemblage or such gay festivities in the fish-world before. the train of bearers who carried the bride's possessions to her new home seemed to reach across the waves from one end of the sea to the other. each fish carried a phosphorescent lantern and was dressed in ceremonial robes, gleaming blue and pink and silver; and the waves as they rose and fell and broke that night seemed to be rolling masses of white and green fire, for the phosphorus shone with double brilliancy in honor of the event.

the jelly fish wondered at this speech and the mocking tone in which it was uttered. then he asked the monkey if it wasn't his intention to come with him at once after getting his liver.

"that promise was false, and anyhow it is now broken!" answered the monkey. then he began to jeer at the jelly fish and told him that he had been deceiving him the whole time; that he had no wish to lose his life, which he certainly would have done had he gone on to the sea king's palace to the old doctor waiting for him, instead of persuading the jelly fish to return under false pretenses.

there was nothing for the jelly fish to do now but to repent of his stupidity, and to return to the dragon king of the sea and to confess his failure, so he started sadly and slowly to swim back. the last thing he heard as he glided away, leaving the island behind him, was the monkey laughing at him.

the dragon king's wrath was great, and he at once gave orders that the jelly fish was to be severely punished. the punishment was a horrible one. all the bones were to be drawn out from his living body, and he was to be beaten with sticks.

the poor jelly fish, humiliated and horrified beyond all words, cried out for pardon. but the dragon king's order had to be obeyed. the servants of the palace forthwith each brought out a stick and surrounded the jelly fish, and after pulling out his bones they beat him to a flat pulp, and then took him out beyond the palace gates and threw him into the water. here he was left to suffer and repent his foolish chattering, and to grow accustomed to his new state of bonelessness.

from this story it is evident that in former times the jelly fish once had a shell and bones something like a tortoise, but, ever since the dragon king's sentence was carried out on the ancestor of the jelly fishes, his descendants have all been soft and boneless just as you see them to-day thrown up by the waves high upon the shores of japan.

long, long ago, one bright autumn day in japan, it happened, that a pink-faced monkey and a yellow crab were playing together along the bank of a river. as they were running about, the crab found a rice-dumpling and the monkey a persimmon-seed.

now though the monkey is always very fond of persimmon fruit, he had no use for the seed he had just found. the persimmon-seed is as hard and uneatable as a stone. he, therefore, in his greedy nature, felt very envious of the crab's nice dumpling, and he proposed an exchange. the crab naturally did not see why he should give up his prize for a hard stone-like seed, and would not consent to the monkey's proposition.

he at last gave in and consented to the monkey's proposal, and the exchange was made. the greedy monkey soon gobbled up the dumpling, and with great reluctance gave up the persimmon-seed to the crab. he would have liked to keep that too, but he was afraid of making the crab angry and of being pinched by his sharp scissor-like claws. they then separated, the monkey going home to his forest trees and the crab to his stones along the river-side. as soon as the crab reached home he put the persimmon-seed in the ground as the monkey had told him.

in the following spring the crab was delighted to see the shoot of a young tree push its way up through the ground. each year it grew bigger, till at last it blossomed one spring, and in the following autumn bore some fine large persimmons. among the broad smooth green leaves the fruit hung like golden balls, and as they ripened they mellowed to a deep orange. it was the little crab's pleasure to go out day by day and sit in the sun and put out his long eyes in the same way as a snail puts out its horn, and watch the persimmons ripening to perfection.

at last, one day, he knew the persimmons must be quite ripe and he wanted very much to taste one. he made several attempts to climb the tree, in the vain hope of reaching one of the beautiful persimmons hanging above him; but he failed each time, for a crab's legs are not made for climbing trees but only for running along the ground and over stones, both of which he can do most cleverly. in his dilemma he thought of his old playmate the monkey, who, he knew, could climb trees better than any one else in the world. he determined to ask the monkey to help him, and set out to find him.

running crab-fashion up the stony river bank, over the pathways into the shadowy forest, the crab at last found the monkey taking an afternoon nap in his favorite pine-tree, with his tail curled tight around a branch to prevent him from falling off in his dreams. he was soon wide awake, however, when he heard himself called, and eagerly listening to what the crab told him. when he heard that the seed which he had long ago exchanged for a rice-dumpling had grown into a tree and was now bearing good fruit, he was delighted, for he at once devised a cunning plan which would give him all the persimmons for himself.

you can imagine the feelings of the poor crab after waiting patiently, for so long as he had done, for the tree to grow and the fruit to ripen, when he saw the monkey devouring all the good persimmons. he was so disappointed that he ran round and round the tree calling to the monkey to remember his promise. the monkey at first took no notice of the crab's complaints, but at last he picked out the hardest, greenest persimmon he could find and aimed it at the crab's head. the persimmon is as hard as stone when it is unripe. the monkey's missile struck home and the crab was sorely hurt by the blow. again and again, as fast as he could pick them, the monkey pulled off the hard persimmons and threw them at the defenseless crab till he dropped dead, covered with wounds all over his body. there he lay a pitiful sight at the foot of the tree he had himself planted.

now the crab had a son who had been playing with a friend not far from the spot where this sad work had taken place. on the way home he came across his father dead, in a most dreadful condition his head was smashed and his shell broken in several places, and around his body lay the unripe persimmons which had done their deadly work. at this dreadful sight the poor young crab sat down and wept.

but when he had wept for some time he told himself that this crying would do no good; it was his duty to avenge his father's murder, and this he determined to do. he looked about for some clue which would lead him to discover the murderer. looking up at the tree he noticed that the best fruit had gone, and that all around lay bits of peel and numerous seeds strewn on the ground as well as the unripe persimmons which had evidently been thrown at his father. then he understood that the monkey was the murderer, for he now remembered that his father had once told him the story of the rice-dumpling and the persimmon-seed.

he at first thought of going to attack the monkey at once, for he burned with rage. second thoughts, however, told him that this was useless, for the monkey was an old and cunning animal and would be hard to overcome. he must meet cunning with cunning and ask some of his friends to help him, for he knew it would be quite out of his power to kill him alone.

the young crab set out at once to call on the mortar, his father's old friend, and told him of all that had happened. he besought the mortar with tears to help him avenge his father's death. the mortar was very sorry when he heard the woful tale and promised at once to help the young crab punish the monkey to death. he warned him that he must be very careful in what he did, for the monkey was a strong and cunning enemy. the mortar now sent to fetch the bee and the chestnut (also the crab's old friends) to consult them about the matter. in a short time the bee and the chestnut arrived. when they were told all the details of the old crab's death and of the monkey's wickedness and greed, they both gladly consented to help the young crab in his revenge.

while all this was taking place the monkey was congratulating himself (as the wicked often do before their punishment comes upon them) on all he had done so neatly. he thought it quite a fine thing that he had robbed his friend of all his ripe persimmons and then that he had killed him. still, smile as hard as he might, he could not banish altogether the fear of the consequences should his evil deeds be discovered. if he were found out (and he told himself that this could not be for he had escaped unseen) the crab's family would be sure to bear him hatred and seek to take revenge on him. so he would not go out, and kept himself at home for several days. he found this kind of life, however, extremely dull, accustomed as he was to the free life of the woods, and at last he said:

"this deer hunt was then only a cunning trick of the enemy!" said the prince, looking round on the flames and the smoke that crackled and rolled in towards him on every side. "what a fool i was to be lured into this trap like a wild beast!" and he ground his teeth with rage as he thought of the governor's smiling treachery.

dangerous as was his situation now, the prince was not in the least confounded. in his dire extremity he remembered the gifts his aunt had given him when they parted, and it seemed to him as if she must, with prophetic foresight, have divined this hour of need. he coolly opened the flint-bag that his aunt had given him and set fire to the grass near him. then drawing the sword of murakumo from its sheath he set to work to cut down the grass on either side of him with all speed. he determined to die, if that were necessary, fighting for his life and not standing still waiting for death to come to him.

strange to say the wind began to change and to blow from the opposite direction, and the fiercest portion of the burning bush which had hitherto threatened to come upon him was now blown right away from him, and the prince, without even a scratch on his body or a single hair burned, lived to tell the tale of his wonderful escape, while the wind rising to a gale overtook the governor, and he was burned to death in the flames he had set alight to kill yamato take.

now the prince ascribed his escape entirely to the virtue of the sword of murakumo, and to the protection of amaterasu, the sun goddess of ise, who controls the wind and all the elements and insures the safety of all who pray to her in the hour of danger. lifting the precious sword he raised it above his head many times in token of his great respect, and as he did this he re-named it kusanagi-no-tsurugi or the grass-cleaving sword, and the place where he set fire to the grass round him and escaped from death in the burning prairie, he called yaidzu. to this day there is a spot along the great tokaido railway named yaidzu, which is said to be the very place where this thrilling event took place.

thus did the brave prince yamato take escape out of the snare laid for him by his enemy. he was full of resource and courage, and finally outwitted and subdued all his foes. leaving yaidzu he marched eastward, and came to the shore at idzu from whence he wished to cross to kadzusa.

in these dangers and adventures he had been followed by his faithful loving wife the princess ototachibana. for his sake she counted the weariness of the long journeys and the dangers of war as nothing, and her love for her warrior husband was so great that she felt well repaid for all her wanderings if she could but hand him his sword when he sallied forth to battle, or minister to his wants when he returned weary to the camp.

but the heart of the prince was full of war and conquest and he cared little for the faithful ototachibana. from long exposure in traveling, and from care and grief at her lord's coldness to her, her beauty had faded, and her ivory skin was burnt brown by the sun, and the prince told her one day that her place was in the palace behind the screens at home and not with him upon the warpath. but in spite of rebuffs and indifference on her husband's part, ototachibana could not find it in her heart to leave him. but perhaps it would have been better for her if she had done so, for on the way to idzu, when they came to owari, her heart was well-nigh broken.

here dwelt in a palace shaded by pine-trees and approached by imposing gates, the princess miyadzu, beautiful as the cherry blossom in the blushing dawn of a spring morning. her garments were dainty and bright, and her skin was white as snow, for she had never known what it was to be weary along the path of duty or to walk in the heat of a summer's sun. and the prince was ashamed of his sunburnt wife in her travel-stained garments, and bade her remain behind while he went to visit the princess miyadzu. day after day he spent hours in the gardens and the palace of his new friend, thinking only of his pleasure, and caring little for his poor wife who remained behind to weep in the tent at the misery which had come into her life. yet she was so faithful a wife, and her character so patient, that she never allowed a reproach to escape her lips, or a frown to mar the sweet sadness of her face, and she was ever ready with a smile to welcome her husband back or usher him forth wherever he went.

at last the day came when the prince yamato take must depart for idzu and cross over the sea to kadzusa, and he bade his wife follow in his retinue as an attendant while he went to take a ceremonious farewell of the princess miyadzu. she came out to greet him dressed in gorgeous robes, and she seemed more beautiful than ever, and when yamato take saw her he forgot his wife, his duty, and everything except the joy of the idle present, and swore that he would return to owari and marry her when the war was over. and as he looked up when he had said these words he met the large almond eyes of ototachibana fixed full upon him in unspeakable sadness and wonder, and he knew that he had done wrong, but he hardened his heart and rode on, caring little for the pain he had caused her.

when they reached the seashore at idzu his men sought for boats in which to cross the straits to kadzusa, but it was difficult to find boats enough to allow all the soldiers to embark. then the prince stood on the beach, and in the pride of his strength he scoffed and said:

when at last they had all embarked and were fairly on their way across the straits, the sky suddenly clouded and a great storm arose. the waves rose mountains high, the wind howled, the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled, and the boat which held ototachibana and the prince and his men was tossed from crest to crest of the rolling waves, till it seemed that every moment must be their last and that they must all be swallowed up in the angry sea. for kin jin, the dragon king of the sea, had heard yamato take jeer, and had raised this terrible storm in anger, to show the scoffing prince how awful the sea could be though it did but look like a brook.

momotaro now got a small ship, and they all got on board. the wind and weather were fair, and the ship went like an arrow over the sea. it was the first time they had ever been on the water, and so at first the dog, the monkey and the pheasant were frightened at the waves and the rolling of the vessel, but by degrees they grew accustomed to the water and were quite happy again. every day they paced the deck of their little ship, eagerly looking out for the demons' island.

when they grew tired of this, they told each other stories of all their exploits of which they were proud, and then played games together; and momotaro found much to amuse him in listening to the three animals and watching their antics, and in this way he forgot that the way was long and that he was tired of the voyage and of doing nothing. he longed to be at work killing the monsters who had done so much harm in his country.

momotaro knew at once that what they saw was the devils' stronghold. on the top of the precipitous shore, looking out to sea, was a large castle. now that his enterprise was close at hand, he was deep in thought with his head leaning on his hands, wondering how he should begin the attack. his three followers watched him, waiting for orders.

very angry, indeed, were the devils. they shook their horns and their shocks of red hair fiercely, and rushed to put on tiger skin trousers to make themselves look more terrible. they then brought out great iron bars and ran to where the pheasant perched over their heads, and tried to knock him down. the pheasant flew to one side to escape the blow, and then attacked the head of first one and then another demon. he flew round and round them, beating the air with his wings so fiercely and ceaselessly, that the devils began to wonder whether they had to fight one or many more birds.

many, many years ago there lived a good old man who had a wen like a tennis-ball growing out of his right cheek. this lump was a great disfigurement to the old man, and so annoyed him that for many years he spent all his time and money in trying to get rid of it. he tried everything he could think of. he consulted many doctors far and near, and took all kinds of medicines both internally and externally. but it was all of no use. the lump only grew bigger and bigger till it was nearly as big as his face, and in despair he gave up all hopes of ever losing it, and resigned himself to the thought of having to carry the lump on his face all his life.

one day the firewood gave out in his kitchen, so, as his wife wanted some at once, the old man took his ax and set out for the woods up among the hills not very far from his home. it was a fine day in the early autumn, and the old man enjoyed the fresh air and was in no hurry to get home. so the whole afternoon passed quickly while he was chopping wood, and he had collected a goodly pile to take back to his wife. when the day began to draw to a close, he turned his face homewards.

the old man had not gone far on his way down the mountain pass when the sky clouded and rain began to fall heavily. he looked about for some shelter, but there was not even a charcoal-burner's hut near. at last he espied a large hole in the hollow trunk of a tree. the hole was near the ground, so he crept in easily, and sat down in hopes that he had only been overtaken by a mountain shower, and that the weather would soon clear.

but much to the old man's disappointment, instead of clearing the rain fell more and more heavily, and finally a heavy thunderstorm broke over the mountain. the thunder roared so terrifically, and the heavens seemed to be so ablaze with lightning, that the old man could hardly believe himself to be alive. he thought that he must die of fright. at last, however, the sky cleared, and the whole country was aglow in the rays of the setting sun. the old man's spirits revived when he looked out at the beautiful twilight, and he was about to step out from his strange hiding-place in the hollow tree when the sound of what seemed like the approaching steps of several people caught his ear. he at once thought that his friends had come to look for him, and he was delighted at the idea of having some jolly companions with whom to walk home. but on looking out from the tree, what was his amazement to see, not his friends, but hundreds of demons coming towards the spot. the more he looked, the greater was his astonishment. some of these demons were as large as giants, others had great big eyes out of all proportion to the rest of their bodies, others again had absurdly long noses, and some had such big mouths that they seemed to open from ear to ear. all had horns growing on their foreheads. the old man was so surprised at what he saw that he lost his balance and fell out of the hollow tree.

the old man now stood up and opened his fan and began to dance. but he had never learned to dance, and knew nothing about the necessary gestures and different positions. he thought that anything would please the demons, so he just hopped about, waving his arms and stamping his feet, imitating as well as he could any dancing he had ever seen.
