WITH a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sor- cerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past. This is what I undertake to do for you, teader. With this drop of ink at the end of my pen I will show you the roomy workshop of Mr. Jonathan Burge, car- penter and builder, in the village of Hayslope, as it appeared on the eighteenth of June, in the year of our Lord 1799. The afternoon sun was warm on the five workmen there, busy upon doors and window-frames and wainscoting. A scent of pine wood from a tent-like pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak paneling which stood propped against the wall. On a heap of those soft shavings a rough gray shepherd-dog had made himself a pleasant bed, and was lying with his nose between his fore-paws, occasionally wrink- ling his brows to cast a glance at the tallest of the five work- men, who was carving a shield in the centre of a wooden man- telpiece. It was to this workman that the strong barytone be- longed which was heard above the sound of plane and ham- mer, singing, "Awake my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth... " Here some measurement was to be taken which required more concentrated attention, and the sonorous voice subsided ----------- 4 ----------- CONTENTS. CHAP. XXXIV. The Betrothal XXXV.
