Turning down this lane, he entered the field, and crossed it in a diagonal direction, till he reached its further corner. Here, on the skirt of a coppice, and under the shade of some large chestnut-trees, a group was assembled, and a scene presented itself, that might be sought for in vain in any country but Spain.

It was at the beginning of October, but at Valentia the thermometer marked twenty degrees Reaumur in the shade.
