The sun was sinking behind an oak grove situated between the rivers Dubissa andE ynia, in a country abounding with holy oaks, snakes and amber, objects held in veneration by the inhabitants. It peeped forth from behind a grey cloud, bidding good-night, with its last beams of golden rays, to the old Zmudzian village that stood on the shore of the stream, surrounded by linden trees and inhabited by petty-noblemen. It wasS aturday evening, a delightful time for labouring people and cattle. From the fields came old-fashioned ploughs, working oxen, waggons, small horses, tall young men with scythes on their shoulders, swarthy, gold-haired girls with songs on their lips, and children driving cows and sheep to their rest under the straw roofs of their stables.
