Grief upon grief had dogged his very footsteps, as step by step lie had advanced in the dark road of adversity, and its gloom had gathered more and more heavily; Vutillreyes were now well used to the murky pathway, and when, instead of denser darkness, the beams of prosperity shone on his path, he was well nigh blinded by,„the unaccustomed light.
