While he was speaking, Quicksilver seemed to be in search of something; he went stooping along the ground, and soon laid his hand on a little plant with a snow-white flower, which he plucked and smelt of. What that was, whether essence of quicksilver, or a few drops of hartshorn, there is no telling. The creeks, winding their way from the sea to the village, shone like quicksilver beneath the vivid sunshine. |
