"Oh, Fairiel, gorso is beautiful, so beautiful and frail that God has given, it little imps with swords to protect its golden beauty.

"lEISH MAEY." Miramar. "Black night, with no stars in the sky—only the lights of Wellington shining- on the hills like bright flowers waiting to bo picked—is to mo a thing of beauty." "WEITEE." Paradise-. "I was coming home from school the other day with Golden Buttercup. Wa looked at the Eimutakas,' and all the mountain tops were covered in a white, white sheet of snow, all shining and glistening."
