I left him there, and proceeded down the valley alone.

I distinguished a moor-sheep cropping the short turf on the graves.

It was sweet, warm weather--too warm for travelling; but the heat did not hinder me from enjoying the delightful scenery above and below: had I seen it nearer August, I'm sure it would have tempted me to waste a month among its solitudes.
