And soon he slept.,“Oh ’bout the fairies an’ stars an’ lovely things that grownups know nothin’ about.”,Having dispatched an hasty meal, they again set forward in the way pointed out to them as the route of the fugitives. The country assumed a more civilized aspect. Corn, vineyards, olives, and groves of mulberry-trees adorned the hills.
