Excerpt
The hot stress of a real midsummer day towards the end of June had given place to the exquisite tempered warmth of evening, and a little breeze bom of the hour before sunset, and made fragrant among the glowing flower-beds of the vicarage garden just ruffled the hair of Helen Challoner as she half sat, half lay in a long deck-chair at the edge of the croquet-lawn, reading a red-covered book with the absorbed intentness which she devoted to any occupation that interested her.
