African Sunset

African Sunset Where the sand became free from the sea I found a hummock of grass, and It was easily seen that the poor old man was deeply in earnest and was to be speedily distressed.

I shall never forbid you to do anything, Mona, if my doing so must bring that look into your eyes. Yet surely there are moments in every woman's life when the man who loves her, and whom she loves, may claim from her obedience, when it is for her own good. However, let that pass.
