Chapter IV
A home where exiled angels might forbear Awhile to moan for paradise. There is a valley far up in the mountains behind the ancient city of Palma--the Val d'Erraha. Some thousand years ago the Arabs found this place. After toils and labours, and many battles by sea and land, a roaming sheikh settled here, calling it El Rahah--the Repose. He dug a well--for where the Moor has been there is always sparkling water--he planted olive trees, and he built a mill.
