The odors of a thousand flowering shrubberies were on the air and he felt that it was good to be in this dreaming old town as old, it seemed to him, as the world; and there was born in him at that moment, though he could not have defined it, a sense of the picturesquesness, the charm, the fragrance, of old things old streets, old houses, old trees, old turf and shrubberies, even with their haunting suggestions of bygone days and scenes.
