Little did I think that the dial hung upon one of the walls was ticking off in minutes one of the most solemn hours of my life! My mother was seated before a small writing-table, placed in a corner of the deep glazed projection which formed the garden-end of the hall.
Meantime, they had come to the garden-end of the walk. "It's late, Reuben, and I must go indoors," said she, with a quiet that she did not feel. "We'll take one more turn, Adèle; you must." And her hand trembled in the eager clasp he fastened upon it. Not once did it come into her mind that Reuben was to make a declaration of passion for her.
After that they moved to the garden-end of the salon, and seated themselves in friendly proximity. Then Bessie asked to be told all about them at home. All about them was not a long story. The doctor's family had not arrived at the era of dispersion and changes; the three years that had been so long, full, and important to Bessie had passed in his house like three monotonous days.
The morning following Bressant's arrival was clear and cool. Professor Valeyon looked out of the window of his bedroom, which was at the garden-end of the house, and opposite Cornelia's, and saw the cold, white mists lying in the valley, and the rough hills, like islands, lifting their dark shoulders above it.
