They were nearing the outskirt fields of cultivation. It was past five when, dropping from the level of the tors, they came into the sunny vale of Monkland. "They say," said Crocker, reading from his guide-book "they say this place occupies a position of unique isolation." The two travellers, in tranquil solitude, took their seats under an old lime-tree on the village green.
They now reached home, and passed close by the lime-tree. 'Ah! said Eugene, 'I must take my leave of you.
"By the sacred Nine," cried Kenelm, "thou art the dog with the tin tray! where is thy master?" The dog seemed to understand the question, for it turned its head significantly; and Kenelm saw, seated under a lime-tree, at a good distance from the path, a man, with book in hand, evidently employed in sketching. "Come this way," he said to Tom: "I recognize an acquaintance. You will like him."
As the Earl and the two young men approached the end of the walk, they were met by the sound of voices and laughter, the clinking of glasses and the rattle of dishes. Turning a corner, they came suddenly upon a party of young gentlemen, who sat at a late breakfast under the shade of a wide-spreading lime-tree.
Of what did he think, watching a lime-tree outside, and the sunlight through its foliage painting bright the room's newly whitewashed wall, already gray-spotted with damp again; watching the shadows of the leaves playing in that sunlight? Almost cruel, that lovely shadow game of outside life so full and joyful, so careless of man and suffering; too gay almost, too alive!

The sun has lighted buttercup-field now, the wind touches the lime-tree. Something passes over me away up there. It is Felicity on her wings! 1912. By John Galsworthy "Je vous dirai que l'exces est toujours un mal." Once upon a time the Prince of Felicitas had occasion to set forth on a journey. It was a late autumn evening with few pale stars and a moon no larger than the paring of a finger-nail.

He opened his eyes. Beautiful piece; she played well the touch of an angel! And he closed them again. He felt miraculously sad and happy, as one does, standing under a lime-tree in full honey flower. Not live one's own life again, but just stand there and bask in the smile of a woman's eyes, and enjoy the bouquet! And he jerked his hand; the dog Balthasar had reached up and licked it.
