It was the half-hour of pause after lunch. The children played idly with the fox-terrier and lounged on the steps of the side-porch, strong and brown, living cups filled to the brim with life. Neale had pushed his chair back from the table, lighted his pipe, and sat meditating. Presently he put out his hand and laid it on Marise's, who had turned to look down the sun-flooded valley.
Gordon shut himself in his study, and the children sat out on the side-porch and studied their Sunday-school lesson, their catechism, and their portion of the 119th Psalm, which Miss Gordon had given them to memorize. Elizabeth had no trouble with her Golden Text or the Psalm, but the catechism was an insupportable burden.

From the windows of the old sitting-room, a light was shining and Anne hastened toward the latticed side-porch which opened into the room.
