Then this ceased; and silence continued, the coloured windows growing gloomier and gloomier with the clouds.
I am in the bosom of a wild Undine, who drowns her admirers while she embraces them and the Titans are growing ever loftier and broader, and the valley ever narrower, gloomier, and more desolate. I felt depressed, and as it were, overwhelmed, but, nevertheless, I went forward. It is melancholy scenery, but, at the same time, grand and powerful.
But in another armchair on the opposite side of the hearth was the forbidding figure of Miss Baylis, blacker, gloomier, more mysterious than ever.
