He was told to bring it along; and in a few minutes, which seemed an age, the bread and milk were placed before us.
The milk was cool, and of good quality.

The bread was in the form of rolls, newly baked, and manufactured of the finest flour.

The aspect of these "refreshments" was of the most tempting character! To our excited imaginations, they equalled the nectar and ambrosia which furnished the feasts on Mount Olympus.

We did not tarry long to gaze upon their beauties, or contemplate their excellence.

Each one broke a roll into his basin of milk, seized a spoon, and without speaking a word, commenced operations with exemplary energy, with cheeks glowing with excitement, and eyes glistening with pleasure; while our good-natured host gazed in wonder on our proceedings, and grinned approbation! Our gratification was complete.
