Présentation de l'éditeur

June, and the hot afternoon sunshine poured down on the steel tracks of the Great Western line, making them glitter like burnished silver as the sun rays danced upon them. The express from London swung smoothly along, mile after mile, through enchanting vistas of wavering trees, laughing meadows, and by sparkling streams, reflecting in their shallow pools the cloudless turquoise of the sky. In one of the first-class carriages alone sat two passengers, a man and a girl.
