Now, there- fore, the main body of the people got up and began to separate, and in a short time only those were left who had been specially `requested 'to stay. iNow, ton, the ores•sets, no longer fed with oil, went out o.ne by one; and the deep gloom of night was fast spreading over the courts and build- isigs aroard, e ill, you not remain, Shastree," 'said' Moro Tri-inntul, "to speak with these people?"
