Entering her own room she went to the window that first and last refuge of the troubled mind and gazed out. Turning her eyes in the direction of her morning's walk, she started back with a sense of being dazzled. She rubbed first her eyes and then the rain-dimmed pane. It was no illusion! The whole landscape, so familiar to her, was one vast field of dead, colorless white!
"I don't think him a good match for you," he stammered, groping for the lost thread of his words. She threw a vague look about the chilly rain-dimmed room.

Breathlessly making her way back to the highest part of the plateau the cliff behind the house that here descended abruptly to the rain-dimmed valley she gazed at the dizzy depths in vain for some undiscovered or forgotten trail along its face. But a single glance convinced her of its inaccessibility. The gateway was indeed their only outlet to the plain below.
