Excerpt from Lady Trent's Daughter: A Novel Miss ardern had just laid aside her knitting, because it was getting too dark to see com fortably, and also she did not wish to miss the sunset, as she expressed it. It had been her habit to watch it for the last five and twenty years, when ever, indeed, a visible sun had been there to set behind the aunt stark range of Cotswold, Hills which reare themselves in front of the three long windows of the library at Nether Cheldon Manor. The evening had followed upon a perfectly lovely day in early June. The morning had begun with a thick white mist that had clung tenaciously, even after the sun had risen and disclosed the clear outline of the bills, to the villa e of Nether Chel don that la down in the ho ow of the valley below the anor House.

And afterward when the sun had finally triumphed, dis persing that white mist, there had supervened a golden day with just a hint of crispness in the air at first, but with sunshine that blazed prodigally for nearly a dozen hours, playing deliciously upon the lon grass of the meadows, and gilding the s lendi emerald of the beech and chestnut woods at clothed the charming little valley.
