A Peaceful Scene. 51

Well, my darling Cissy, what is this picture ?
Certainly a very pretty and peaceful scene, and,
indeed, pleasant to look at, after our friend
Captain Carbuncle’s stormy adventures and
perilous escapes. I think you are quite right,

   

ah
Lily, in saying that it is nice to fancy that
gentleman, walking under the trees, to be
Captain Carbuncle himself, after his return in
safety to his native land. What a delight it
must be to him to find himself in such a lovely
peaceful spot, with the soft grass under his feet !
