[A large fig tree in full leaf {101} grows upon it], and under it lies the sucking whirlpool of Charybdis. On the very chair which I used to occupy when I was at work Marian was sitting now, with the child industriously sucking his coral upon her lap--while Laura was standing by the well-remembered drawing-table which I had so often used, with the little album that I had filled for her in past times open under her hand.
