The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, vol 3: Large Print By Sir Richard Francis Burton They passed through the arch into a deep, narrow gully whose banks were of stones, moss-covered; and in the crannies grew more ferns and long grasses. Trees growing on the top of the bank arched across, and the sunlight came through in changing patches of brightness, turning the gully to a roofed corridor of goldy-green.

"The bold Captain, reproving the silly chatter of his subordinates," "I like that!" said Jimmy, indignant.
