"Twas such a night as this: There was not a
breath of air to ruffle the smooth surface of the calm
Adriatic; naught was heeded save the distant tinkling
of the solitary Sheep bell & the low barking of the
honest watch-dog. He stood beside a tomb - a
deep sigh rent his bosom & ever & anon as he
cast his tearful languid eye to the pale, chaste
moon. Heavy he exclaimed: 'Oh God!
What a night for catching Coons!'
