A DAY AT VK9IIOK. •;
j . '■ T —~— !; — ■ ■ 4; ’
■While wo were at Trieste a proposition was
started that the party should go over to Venice
for a day or two. Jt was already pretty late
when we decided to go, and consequently wo
htid to take what accommodations we could
get. The Austrian Lloyds’ steamer Venezia
kaß' otily two state-rooms, each with lour
berths, and thcße, we learned, had been en
gaged by some ollicers of the American Irigate
Franklin,■then at Trieste during the torpedo
experiments at the Austrian naval station of
Tuiino, near aVband. Our accommodations
Were, therefore, .somewhat unsatisfactory.
The after-cabin, where iirst-class passengers
are quartered,is simply a large saloon, around
which extends a transom furnished with
ensbions. This is the bed of tho passengers,
and here they stretch out as best they can. If
the little hole called a “ladies’ cabin’’ happens
to he full, perhaps one or two forlorn women
may ’be turned in among, the rather mixed
multitude already in the saloon. It
is really amazing that European steam
boats are so utterly lacking in con
veniences, and (I bad almost said) the neces
saries of life. At. the very time that people
aretoost in want of privacy, .attendance and
refreshment, away as they are from
home, friends and country, they are subjected
to additional annoyances, which might easily
he prevented. Our American periodicals oc
casionally wax indignant over the little re
gard paid to the wants of the public by rail
road and steamboat men, and sneeringly refer
to the ignorance of the great patient victim of
extortion,who unmurimiringly bears the impo
sitions of rapacious corporations. Very good;
by such means abuses are checked and im
provements continually made on our lines ol
passenger traflie. But. over here, so long as
the rich and great are provided for, hut little
heed is taken of that great public wliosc woes
are so feelingly set forth by our enterprising
journalists. We have almost determined
never to murmur any more, if we get home,at
any discomfort or annoyance that we may
meet with, but to make them merely occa
sions of felicitation at ' having escaped the
greater woes of European travel.
We qianaged to secure a piece of transom
about three feet long for each of us, and
« made believe” sleep, but were all awakened
about four o’clock in the morning by the
clatter of dishes in the saloon, where the
steward was settingthe table to furnish codec
and eggs to such as might desire them before
going ashore. Our naps had been many during
the night, hut our sleep very little, and we
■were really glad-of agobd excuse for getting
up “lor good,” as the hoys say; After a cup
of coffee, we lit our cigars and went upon
deck in the gray morning, to see Venice rise
out of the sea. AVo were running by the side
of a long low island or mud bank, across which
in the distance wo could see the steeples and
towers of churches and palaces, apparently
Tialf submerged. We ran up to tlio end of our
Island, turned around into a small bay, from
thence into the mouth of the Grand Canal,
set all the steam-whistles blowing, and relied
■ frantically into the peerless city.
As wo passed on our way we observed aii
unexpected sight—that there are several fafr
sized gardens surrounding Some of the resi
dences. The land is elevated eight or ten feet
above,the water, probably by tilling in, and
water-faced with cut stone,which is discolored
■ and somewhat shaky by the lapse ol time.
Many mud-banks also rise just, above the sur
face of the Lagoon, but as all tvero dripping
tret "when we passed them, and gave no sign
-.of grass or ■weeds, wo concluded that there
i2tat;t be tide enough to drain the city. Several •
disrejiUitable-lookiug sons of Neptune were
iprowlW over these banks, with a basket and
a liook\ apiece, seeking oysters, clams, peri
winklesKor something else to devour. Little
narrow sVreets or alleys extended up between
thd rbrys pif houses, and calm ditches, the fa
mous canals\of Venice, lay muddy under the
sombre shade of overhanging walls and bah
conies. Arrived at the middle of tin; city, wo
tied Up to a buoy, just oil' ilie Ducal Palace,
and were at once surrounded by long, black,
•\drigout” looking boats, whose bows, rose up
in a graceful curve arid terminated in an or
nament resembling a saw. These are the'fa
mous gondolas of Venice. A clamor arose,
hut soonhue by one the boats >vere permitted
to coihe the. pussongers got. in
them, party by party, designated- their hoi,els,
and were carried away. When we" arrived at
our hotel it proved unsatisfactory, stud a de
tachment was sent out, to discover another,
while the remainder of the party got an early
breakfast.
It was not quite six o’clock in the morning
when we took our first walk in Venice, and
few people were about. Passing up the narrow
'street (abouto feet wide) which was in front,or
behind,or on the sido or our hotel,whoso other
three sides were reached.by canals, we turned
through an archway that, seemed
to give access to an open space,amU'ound our
selves in the famous St. Mark’s Square. Be
fore us, at a distance of two hundred yards,
was a lowest of oriental domes and spires and
pinnacles, of columns, buttresses and arches,
surmounting, clusteflng around,and springing
lightly from a comparatively low mass of
buildings, in every niche of which, on every
corner and ledge, were statues arid carving,
while vaulted recesses and exposed faces
glowed with golden mosaics ; and as the eye
passed from pinnacle to statue or picture,
each feature seemed to grow light aud melt
away in the morning air, and give place
to some-other more bountiful. The magnifi
cence was of a kind entirely new to our eyes.
Wi: were in front of tlie Church Of -St. Mark,
The attraction was irresistible. We forgot
the hotel and tlie rest of tlie party and our.
errand, and our carefully-arranged plan for
seeing the city in regular-order, and crossed
the spacious square (well-tUiggcdttbroughout)
' to see this marvel of medin-viil taste, and Skill
before it should vanish away. As we came
near we observed over the centre archway
the lour beautiful bronze horses brought from
Constantinople in twelve hundred aud some
thing, aud coveted by the great Napoleon
for his capital, whence they were returned
after his downfall. There are two pair of
horses, though each statue stands separately
on its own pedestal. The two outside ljorses
turn their heads towards each other, while
the two between them turn their heads, with
a graceful curve of the neck, towards tlie
outer horse nearest each. ,
We entered the vestibub? of the church by
an immense arcliw” by itn iuiini
tude of small columns of various Colored iuar
blea, said to have been collected from all parts
of the Mediterranean world. The 'vestibule
extends across the w hole front of the church,
. audits'vaulted'ceiling is embellished with
. gilt mosaics, as is also the vaulted root of the
interior of the church. Drawing aside the
heavy blanket which always hangs in front of
MiedoorofKuropeanltomanCatholicCJhurches,
: ' we looked within. Massive square pillars sup
' jport the nave; chapels retire from the aisles
Jnio a mellow darkness; the floor is worn into
■hollows l>y the feet of successive generations
! hTom the deep altar Teeess at the farther end
of the church came the hum of voices going
through the early service, while in the corners
and obscure recesses an occasional kneeling
figure, sllept as a statue, produced an impres
sion of solemnity befitting tlie House of (1 oil
... fad**'
i-nß'..
1 JBnshed and awed, we felt mo curiosity to ox
amino tflcbuihiint at thallium, ami we turned ,
and went out of the .cliuroli.
■ The situ was 1 beginning to .jwsP 0W> r * ho :i
iiuildingk mid shine Sown into\the square.
Before us',a littldtotlitflcft.wiiS'thecampanilo
or heir tower of the Cathedral, a brick struc
ture three hundrctl fcetiiigh add more. “We
looked towards its lofty summit,and it seemed
to luovn through the sky as the fleecy clouds
were hastening away before tho rising sun.
On onr left was the Piazetta, or Little Square,
flanked on one side by tho Doge’s Palace and
on the other by the Royal Palace, and termi
nating at ouo end in the Squaro of St. Mark
and the other at the Grand Canal, where it is
joined, by the (tuidecea. Between the two
columns near tlio canal, one of which is sur
mounted by the winged Lion of St. Mark, and
the other by a statue of fit. Theodore, the
Patron Saint of Venieo before St., Mark, we
had an extended view far over the Lagoon
and out- to sea, where two or three small sails
were whitening in the early day. Bofore us
was the square, one-third narrower at the
end opposite the church than at its doors,
(being 1)77 feet long," 1881 feet wido at one end
and 2703 l'eet wide■ atfl;he other), but with the
hell tower So skilfully placed that the irregu
larity does not strike the eye. On each side
and at the end opposite us wore magnificent
buildings,of uniform height and tho same rich
style of architecture; carved-work .embellish
ing architrave, frieze and cornice; statues de
corating every projection, and columns giving
grace and lightness to massive masonry.
Arches open to streets or canals beyond, and
there were enough servants and laborers mov
ing about by this time to give an air of life
and reality to wliat else had appeared a iairy
scene. A fairy scene in daytime! even so, a
fairy scene in. daytime. Such it was when
we confessed tho Piazza to bo wliat tin 1 Vene
tians call it, "the finest square in the world.”
While we were admiring the square and its
buildings, wo heard a clock, strike on our
right, and locking around, we saw another
object of interest which we had not before
observed. This was the Clock Tower. On its
top a large bronze figure of a man was
heaving up a large hammer, with which a bell
was struck, while a, figure' of the same size,
correspondingly placed on the other side of
the hell, seemed to approve of his brother’s
aetioiis. On the frbnt of tho tower below
these figures was the clock face, with two
twelve-hour spaces encircling it. In one sido
a movable scroll indicated the hours-in
Roman capitals, and on the other side a like
scroll indicated the minutes in figures'. Be
tween the clock-face and the hell was the
omnipresent gilt lion of St. Mark, pressing
against the wall as though to keep from fall
ing off the ledge on which it is placed. At
the foot of the tower is an archway, through
which we could see the perspective of a street,
which seemed’ in a hurry to get around the
corner. This remark haying been made by
one of tlie party, recalled ns to tho object of
our early start. We therefore secured rooms
In hotel on the Squtiro, and after making
the necessary arrangements, started out with
the guide for a more critical examination of
the famous city.
And first of all we'ascended the hell tower,
whence the whole city could be seen. There
it was, a very queen! How unlike other
cities ! Instead of green fields and vine-clad
hills and leafy gardens, such as great cities
Jove lo'surround themselves with, we had a
wide expanse of waters, (Jotted liereandthere
With islands on which wore churches, facto
ries, prisons,or fishermen’s huts,’and away oft
to the north and east tho rugged mountains of
the main land, looking as 'though sullenly re
strained from domination over the sons ol
their former inhabitants, who had hjft their
inhospitable sides for the. tenderer mercies of
the treacherous waves. Prom one point the
city stretches out a friendly baud to the main
land. A viaduct more than two miles long
(K),fi2l feet) connects Venice with the neigh
boring shore, and gives her those indispensa-
Ides.of modi:rn life—vai.lroad .eotuinuiiication
and a supply-of fresh water. Prom the
campanile we saw'it extending out jh the
Lagoon, till,a mere thread in the dim’distance,
it mi mod to sink exhausted at the foot of the
hills, while a small wreath of smoke curling
above tho middle of the bridge gave an anima
tion to the scene by telling us of the' rushing
train with its prcciohs freight of human lives.
lint though we were three hundred teet
high above the middle of the city, we couhl
make out but little of the plan of the town.
’The narrow streets could he' distinguished but
a short distance, aid, save tho Grand Canal,
t ‘avnszzio,and Guidccca, the special feature
of Venice, its canals, could not he seen at; all
At two or'three points we observed a few
tree-tops peering above tho roofs, indicating
tlie position of the squares and promenades,
or the few gardens of which the city can
boast. There were no small houses observa
ble, or rather none of one or two stories—
building-room is too scarce for that : nor, on
the other baud, are the houses unusually high
Pour or five stories are generally all they aspire
to, and from the position we occupied the
roefs seemed on llic same level, unless it were
a church, or tower, or dome of a public build
ing, which gave agreeable diversity to a view
that, had otherwise been monotonous. Tho
town seemed small from our lofty look-out,
hut. in reality it covers more ground, or rather
water, or perhaps wo had better say mrfae'e,
! than most, old cities of 123,000 inhabitants.
This is due partly-to tile unusual number of
public, buildings, palaces and oluireluis, and
partly io the necessity of building apart so as
to leave room for canals.
Among the -foal tires of tho town that strike
' one as characteristic is its silence.. As there
arc no broad carriage-ways, there are neither
drays, wagons, carriages, nor -horses—not
even a donkey—and consequently none of the
rumble and roar of business. Tho inhabitants
move about.in gondolas or on foot; but the
putter of the legt upon the pavement is a very
mild roar, and suggests the gentleness of
friendly intercourse, as the noise of carts hor
rifies by bringing hi lore the mind the hard
ness.of business'. ’’
Charming Venice haw none of those dismal
noises which drive frantic a man of art. A'
gentle hum ,like. that of the summer bee about
•a favorite flower, rises and falls upon the ear
and soothes to repose. A liand-organ of am
bitious voice ean he heard half across the
town. The domestic animals, the dog and the
Oat , are the only .quadrupeds,- aud may here

Of course, all food must lie. brought from a
distance, and,in fact,all the necessaries of life.
As we were going down the Grand Canal in
a gondola, our boatman requested permission
to stop and get a drink. Permission being
given, he-proceeded to a point neartho iron
bridge, where three old scows wero sunk
down to the water's .edge, .-.He .drew,his fang
dug-out looking boat to the side of tlio scow,
took aeup from a recess of hiß_gon<fala, dipped'
up water from the scow and drank It. So we
were told, although unable to understand
Italian, that, these scows were water-boats,and
that thus the town is even yet, to some extent,
supplied with water. As we have already
intimated, aqueduct pijjes are led across the
Lagoon on the Taitroad bridge; but as tbia_
bridge was constructed -only in'lB4l-36, wator
boata and cisterns were doubtless the chief
means of providing water during tlio long

From “ Frederick ” we extract; as an appro
priate introduction, ah account of the hero's
father, the bluff and brutal Frederick’ William,
one of the strangest charaeters-in history :
FUKIIKIiICK WII.T.IAM OF FUFS.SIA, FATIIKIi
OF FHEDIHMI K TIJIS CHEAT.
The new monarch, who assumed the
crowti with the title of Frederick William, not
with that of Frederick 11.. to the utter conster
nation of the'court, dismissed nearly every
honorary official of the palace, from the
highest dignitary to the humblest page. liis
Hashing eye’ and . determined , manner were
so appalling' that no one ventured to re
monstrater • A clean sweep was made, * sot
that the household was reduced to the
lowest footing of economy consistent with
the supply of indispensable wants. Eight serv- .
ants were retained at six shillings a week. His
father had thirty pages. All were dismissed
lmt three. There were one thousand. saddle
horses in the royal stables, Frederick - William
kept thirty. T hree-fourths of the names were
stiuek from the petision-list. Thus rigidly the
king went on through every department of ad
lniiiistrative and household expenses, until they
were reduced to below a fifth of what they had
been under his father.
For twenty-seven years this strange man
reigned, lie was like no other monarch.
Great wisdom and shrewdness were blended
with unutterable folly arid almost maniacal
madness.. Though a man of strong powers of
mind, he was very illiterate. lie certainly had
some clear views of political economy. Car
lyle says of him: “His semi-articulate papers
and rescripts on these subjects are still almost,
worth leading by a lover of genuine human
talent, in the dumb form. For spelling, gram
mar. penmanship and composition—they re
semble nothing else extant—are as if done by
the paw of a hear; indeed, the utterance gene-,
rally sounds more like the growling of a bear
than anything that could be handily spelled or
patsed. But there is a decisive human sense
in the heart, of it; and there is such a dire
hatred of empty bladder.?, unrealities and hypo
critical forms and pretences, which he calls
wind and humbug, as is very strange indeed.”
His energy inspired the whole kingdom and
paved the way for the achievements of ids son.
The .lather created the machine with which
the son attained such wonderful results. He
commuted the old feudal service into a fixed
money payment. 1 lie goaded the whole realm
into industry,compelling even the apple-women
to knit at the stalls. The crown lauds vj'ers
carefully fanned out. IJe'drained bogs.planted
manufactures', aud in
every wajfencouraged the use of Prussian pro
ducts. He carried with .him invariably a stqut
ratan cane. Upon the slightest provocation,
like a madman, he would thrash those Tvlfa dis
pleased Idm. lie was|thoroughly an arbitrary
king, ruling at his sovereign will, and disposing
of the liberty, the property, and the lives of
• his subjects at-his pleasure. Every year 'he
was accumulating large inasses of coin, which
he deposited in bands in the cellar of Ufa
palace.- Ho had no powers of graceful speech,
hut spent his energetic, joyless life in grum
bling and growling.
The Prussian Minister, baron Pollnitz, in »
letter from Berlin, dated June 0,1720, writes :
“The king’s prime minister is the king him
self, who is informed .of every thing and is de
sirous to know every thing. He gives great
application to business, but does it with Ex
traordinary ease; and nothing escapes his p6u,-
etration nor his memory, which is a very happy
one. ' No sovereign in the world is of more
easy access, his subjects being actually per
mitted to write to him without any other for
mality thaiy superscribing the letter To ille
limy. By writing underneath, To be delivered
into . Ms..Majesty’* own hands, one
may be sure that, the king receives and,
reads it, and tlfat, the next” post he will
answer it, either with his own hinds or by his
secretary.! These answers are short, but per-!
emptory. Ther(i is no town in all the King,of
Prussia’s dominions, except Neufchatel, where
he,has not, been; no province which he does
not know full well; nor a court of justice but
he is acquainted with its chief members.”
Fully conscious that the respect which would
- be paid to liiin as a European sovereign greatly
depended upon the number of meii ho could
bring into the field of battle, Frederick William
devoted untiring energies to rhe creation of an
srnijr. % the Most severe ec<snojhy., Watching:,
with anfeagleeyo^veryexpeijditurt,aindbring-.
ingihte&dgel nieMtiSSly upon lßissliou|i:,,
derjs of wery loiterer, lbs succeeded in 1 jaiismgi,
and maintaining mi arUiyfiof
iVijrid moil; sev^tyHwd' : th<idsgnd':heiijg field
troops, and thirty thousand in garrison. He
drilled these troops as troops were never
drilled before. Regardless himself of comfort,
insensible to fatigue, -dead to affection, lie
created perhaps the mo§t potent military ma—
chifta,;earth has ever knoyrn. Prussia was an
armed camp. The king prized his soldiers as a
miser prizes his gold coin; and was as unwilling
to .espose them to any dangqpas tlie miser is to
hazard his'treasures. would thin his re
giments, soil his uniforms, destroy his materiel.
He hgted war. Hut his aimy caused Prussia
to he respected. If ndodful he could ( throw
one hundred thousand,of. the best nrilled and
best furnished troops in Europe, like a cata
pult, upon any point. Unprincipled monarchs
would think twice before they would encroacli
upon a man'thus aimed.
There was but one short war in which Fred
erick William engaged duringliis reign oi twen
ty-sovsn years. That was with Charles XII., of
Sweden. It lasted but a few months, and from
it the Prussian king returned victorious. The
demands of Frederick William were not un
reasonable, As lie commenced the brief cam
paign, which began and ended w ith the siege
of Stralsund, lie said: “Why will the very
king Mioni l most respect compel me to be his
enemy?” In his 01181X1010118110 farewell order
to his ministers he wrote: “My wife shall bo
told of all things, and counsel asked of her.
And as l am a man, and may he shot dead, I
command you and all to, take care of Fritz, as
God shall reward you. And I give you all,
wile to begin with, my curse that (-lod may
punish you in time and eternity if you do not,
after my death, bury me in the vault of the
palace chiircn at Berlin. Awl you.shall make
no grand to-do on the occasion. On your
body and life no festivals and ceremonials, ex
cept that the regiments, one after the other,'
Ike a volley over me. 1 am assured that you
will manage eVery thing with all the exactness
in the world, for Which I shall ever, zealously,
as long as I live, be your friend.’.’■
The king was scrupulously clean, washing
five times a day. He would allow no drapery,
no stuffed furniture, no carpets in liis apart
ments. They caught dust. He sat upon a
plain wooden chair. He ate roughly, like a
farmer, of roast beef, despising all delicacies.
His almost invariable dress was a close raili*
tary bine coat, with red Cuffs and collar, bull
waistcoat and breeches, and white linen gaiters
to the knee. A sword was _ belted around ills
loins, and, as we have said, a stout ratau or
bamboo cane ever in his hand. A well-worn,
battered, triangular hat covered his head, lie
walked rapidly through the streets which sur
rounded his palaces at Potsdam and Berlin.
If he met any one who attracted his attention,
male or female, he would abruptly, menacingly
inquire, “ Who are you ?” A street lounger he
has been known to hit over the head with
his cane, exclaiming, “Home, you rascal, and
go to work.” Ifj any one prevaricated or hesi
tated he would sternly demand, “Look me in
the face.” If there were still liesitaney, or the
king were dissatisfied with the answers, the
one intenogated was lucky if he escaped with
out a caning.
The boorish king hated the. refinement and
polish of the French. If lie met a lady in rich
attire, she was pretty sure to be rudelyassaiied;
and a yonug man fashionably dressed could
liardlv escape the cudgel if he came within reach
of the king’s arm. The king, stalking through
the streets, was as marked ail object as an
elephant would have been. Every one in
stantly recognized him, and many tied at, liis
approach. One day lie met a pale, threadbare
young man, who was quietly passing - him,
when the king stopped, in his jerking gait, and
demanded, in his coarse, rapid utterance,
“ Who are you ?” •• 1 am a theological student .”
the young man quietly replied. “ Where
from 1”’ added the king. “ From Berlty,” was
the response. From Berlin?” the king re
joined;, “the Berliners are all a good-for-noth-:
iiursot.” “Yes, your Majesty, that is true of
many of them,” the young man added; "11111
I know of two exceptions.” “Of two’.” re
sponded the king: “which are theyi*” “ Your
Majesty and myself," the young man replied.
The king burst into ti good-humored ■ laugh.
g»nd, after having'the young man .carefully cx
amir.ed, assigned him to a chaplaincy.
The French Minister at the court of Berlin,
Count, Bolhcnbunr, was a Prussian by birth.
He was a man of much diplomatic ability, and
a very accomplished gentleman. Having spent
much of his life in Palis ho luul acquired tiie
polished manners of the French court, and
wore the costume appropriate to the Tuilcries
and Versailles. He and liis associates in the
embassy attracted much attention as they ap
peared in their cocked hats, flowing wigs, laced
coats, and other gorgeous trimmings. The
King, in liis homespun garb, was apprehensive
that the example so obnoxious to him might
spread. ,
There was to be a grand review on the
parade-groiind, just out iiom Berlin, af which
the French embassy was to be present. The
king caused a party eonal in number, composed
of tiie - lowest of the people, to be dressed in an
enormous exaegeration of tiie French costume.
Their, cocked' hats, wen! nearly a yard in
diameter., immense wigs reached to their
heels, and all other parts of. the French court
costume were' caricatured in the most grotesque
manner possible, As soon as tiie French cm-,
bassy appeared there was a great sound ot
trumpets and martial-bands from another part
of the field, and these harlequins were'brought
forward to tire gaze of every eye, and con
spicuously to the view of Count--Rotlicnborjjand
liis companions. Military discipline preventau any
outburst of derisive laughter. _ Perfect silence
reigned. Tiie king sat upon liis horse as stolid
anil grim as fate. .Count Rotheuburg yielded
to 1 this gross discourtesy of the king, and ever
after,while be remained in Berlin, wore a plain
Gei man costume. - , i . '
Frederick William was very anxious that
little Fritz should be trained to warlike tastes
and habits; that, like liimself, lie should scorn
all ■'effeminacy; that, wearing. homespun
clothes, eating frugal food, despising all pur
suits, of pleasure and all literary tastes, ho
should be every inch a soldier. But, to the
bitter disappointment of the lather, the.
child , manifested no taste tor sol
diering. ne was gentle, .aflection
ate, fond of books and music, and with an al
most feminine love clung to liis sister. Xlie
stern old king was not only disappointed, but
angered. These were qualities which he
deqmed unmanly, and which lie thoroughly
despised. - ■ . ~ .
One day the father, returning home, found,
to his inexpressible delight^little i ritz strutting
about beatSg a drum,with Wilhelmina march
ing by his side. The king could scarcely rc
strainliis joy. At last the military element was
being developed iu his child. lie hastened
with the tidings to his wife, whom he called by
the pet name of “Feelsin”r-a word apparently
coined from Sophie. The matter -was talked
about all over the palace. A painter was sent
for to transfer the scene to canvas.' This pic
ture, greatly admired,still hangs upon the walls
of the Cliarlottenburg palace. Of! this picture
Carlyle Writes: “Fritz .is still, if not in ‘long
clotlies,’ at. least in longish arid flowing clothes
of the petticoat sort,which lookas of dark blue
velvet, very simple, pretty and appropriate; in
a- cap of tiie saine; lias a short raven’s feather
in the cap, and looks up with a face and eyes
full of beautiful vivacity 1 aud child’s enthusi
asm, one of the beautifiilest little figures, while
the little drum responds to hits of drumsticks.
Sister Wjlbelriiina, taller; by some three .years,
looks on in pretty,-stooping attitude,' and with
a graver smile. Blackamoor ’and robm-turm
