THE MYSTERIOUS CHAMBERS 121 Such is a faint picture of the moonhght nights I have passedloitering about the courts and halls and balconies of this mostsuggestive pile; feeding my fancy with sugared suppositions,and enjoying that mixture of reverie and sensation which stealaway existence in a southern climate; so that it has beenalmost morning before I have retired to bed, and been lulledto sleep by the falling waters of the fountain of Lindaraxa.
