It is not the first time I have been at Court, my lord.
The clear colours of spring ripened to the hotter gamut of mid-summer, to an August splendour of ripening harvest in field, orchard and hedgerow, and thence to the purple, russet and gold of autumn.

And they would count the weeks and look as anxiously forward to those few days of freedom, of unbridled liberty, as a school-boy looks forward to his mid-summer holidays. But they are very, very improvident. So long as they have enough for to-day, let to- morrow look out for itself.
