Outside the air was limpid with sunlight, and the newly mown meadow was golden in the light of evening.

The country dozed as if satiated with summer love. Heavy scents were abroad the pungent odours of the aftermath.
There was a sentry at the gate, but the place had such a gaunt, clumsy, and mournful aspect, that M. Zola could not possibly picture it as the London palace of her most Gracious Majesty the Queen. However, evening found him once more in his room at the Grosvenor; and feeling tired and feverish he lay down and dozed.
