Of late the young man had indulged in these lonely excursions, whence he always returned more melancholy than ever.

At once the turquoise gems indented the concealed bag; at once the iron fang protruded from the end of the stick, and on looking closely the major at the end of the spike observed an oblong drop of greenish hue. "Yis. Dat so.".
