"
Well
,
sir
,
"
replied
Paganel
,
holding
out
his
hand
to
the
young
man
,
"
receive
the
sincere
compliments
of
a
Frenchman
,
who
is
a
passionate
admirer
of
this
music
.
"
Michael
grasped
his
hand
cordially
,
and
then
pointing
out
the
road
to
take
,
set
off
,
accompanied
by
the
ladies
and
Lord
Glenarvan
and
his
friends
,
for
the
station
.
The
horses
and
the
camp
were
left
to
the
care
of
Ayrton
and
the
sailors
.
Hottam
Station
was
truly
a
magnificent
establishment
,
kept
as
scrupulously
in
order
as
an
English
park
.
Immense
meadows
,
enclosed
in
gray
fences
,
stretched
away
out
of
sight
.
In
these
,
thousands
of
bullocks
and
millions
of
sheep
were
grazing
,
tended
by
numerous
shepherds
,
and
still
more
numerous
dogs
.
The
crack
of
the
stock-whip
mingled
continually
with
the
barking
of
the
"
collies
"
and
the
bellowing
and
bleating
of
the
cattle
and
sheep
.
Toward
the
east
there
was
a
boundary
of
myalls
and
gum-trees
,
beyond
which
rose
Mount
Hottam
,
its
imposing
peak
towering
7,500
feet
high
.
Long
avenues
of
green
trees
were
visible
on
all
sides
.
Here
and
there
was
a
thick
clump
of
"
grass
trees
,
"
tall
bushes
ten
feet
high
,
like
the
dwarf
palm
,
quite
lost
in
their
crown
of
long
narrow
leaves
.
The
air
was
balmy
and
odorous
with
the
perfume
of
scented
laurels
,
whose
white
blossoms
,
now
in
full
bloom
,
distilled
on
the
breeze
the
finest
aromatic
perfume
.
To
these
charming
groups
of
native
trees
were
added
transplantations
from
European
climates
.
The
peach
,
pear
,
and
apple
trees
were
there
,
the
fig
,
the
orange
,
and
even
the
oak
,
to
the
rapturous
delight
of
the
travelers
,
who
greeted
them
with
loud
hurrahs
!
But
astonished
as
the
travelers
were
to
find
themselves
walking
beneath
the
shadow
of
the
trees
of
their
own
native
land
,
they
were
still
more
so
at
the
sight
of
the
birds
that
flew
about
in
the
branches
--
the
"
satin
bird
,
"
with
its
silky
plumage
,
and
the
"
king-honeysuckers
,
"
with
their
plumage
of
gold
and
black
velvet
.
For
the
first
time
,
too
,
they
saw
here
the
"
Lyre
"
bird
,
the
tail
of
which
resembles
in
form
the
graceful
instrument
of
Orpheus
.
It
flew
about
among
the
tree
ferns
,
and
when
its
tail
struck
the
branches
,
they
were
almost
surprised
not
to
hear
the
harmonious
strains
that
inspired
Amphion
to
rebuild
the
walls
of
Thebes
.
Paganel
had
a
great
desire
to
play
on
it
.
However
,
Lord
Glenarvan
was
not
satisfied
with
admiring
the
fairy-like
wonders
of
this
oasis
,
improvised
in
the
Australian
desert
.
He
was
listening
to
the
history
of
the
young
gentlemen
.
In
England
,
in
the
midst
of
civilized
countries
,
the
new
comer
acquaints
his
host
whence
he
comes
and
whither
he
is
going
;
but
here
,
by
a
refinement
of
delicacy
,
Michael
and
Sandy
Patterson
thought
it
a
duty
to
make
themselves
known
to
the
strangers
who
were
about
to
receive
their
hospitality
.
Michael
and
Sandy
Patterson
were
the
sons
of
London
bankers
.
When
they
were
twenty
years
of
age
,
the
head
of
their
family
said
,
"
Here
are
some
thousands
,
young
men
.
Go
to
a
distant
colony
;
and
start
some
useful
settlement
there
.
Learn
to
know
life
by
labor
.
If
you
succeed
,
so
much
the
better
.
If
you
fail
,
it
wo
n't
matter
much
.
We
shall
not
regret
the
money
which
makes
you
men
.
"
