Far down in the river-bed lay waves of fleecy mist, and the rising sun gilded the heights with his early splendour. Birds piped and flashed among the dewy bush sprays, and the low of cattle and bark of a dog from a distant kraal floated upward. All was fair and bright and peaceful-- and within--my love still slept on, serene, quiet, secure. CHAPTER THIRTY ONE. THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE DEW.
