Even the thin smoke from the cottages flickered and was illuminated. The trees had the leaves of Paradise. The world seemed to hold nothing but the sun, and to be bewildered.

Marvin, who met us at the pasture-gate, carried a lantern, the glow of the twilight having faded from the mountain-tops.

His forehead was low, and his eyes set close together sure sign of a close-fisted nature.
