The broad daylight gives the look of safety and protection, and there is the tranquillity of night mixed with the brightness of day, for aU is yet silent and at rest about the sleeping house.

It stood in the midst of a garden bright with summer flowers, wliich at this hour lifted tlieir silver heads all splendid with dew and sunshine; and it looked down the valley to the village, which stood at a little distance, intersected and embowered -n-ith orchards, and crowned with the spire of the church. Early as it was, another half hour had not passed before the master of the liouse descended some steps wliich led from the window of liis dressing-room, and walked tlirough liis I dooming garden to the stable, where his horse was ready for him, as it had been every morning for the last few weeks; and whenever the day was beautiful as this was, he had passed the early houi sin Paul Ferrull.
