Wild sweeps of fell and field faded on the sight to those dim and remote hues of distance only visible upon days of exceeding aerial brilliancy. Immediately beneath the eminence subtended ragged expanses of rainbow-colored heath and fern and furze spotted with small fir trees which showed blue against the tones of the moor.
Now and then she bent her head back for him to kiss her, when an invisible ray would strike her eye and be refracted into a rainbow-colored star, in the darkness. A high dike of turfs ran along the edge of the wood, and low over it hung hazel and young beech trees.
And she dreamed that she opened a shop—a big shop this was—on the top of a huge white cloud.
