Chapter Twenty Five.

“The feast of reason and the flow of soul”—Stapleton, on human nature, proves the former; the Dominie, in his melting mood, the latter—Sall’s shoe particularly noted, and the true “reading made easy” of a mind at ease, by Old Tom.

The afternoon of the next day I heard a well-known voice, which carolled forth, as Mary huddled up her books, and put them out of the way; for at that time I was, as usual, giving her a lesson:—

“And many strange sights I’ve seen,

And long I’ve been a rover,

And everywhere I’ve been,

But now the wars are over.

I’ve been across the line,

Where the sun will burn your nose off;

And I’ve been in northern climes,

Where the frost would bite your toes off.

Fal de ral, fal de ral, fal de ral de liddy.”
