Introduction

Golden light warmed the panelled walls and old furniture to a dull lustre. It gave back to the fading gilt of the first empire chairs and couches something of its old brightness. The face of the girl who sat writing at a table in front of the long windows which opened on to the century's old turf of the broad terrace, was the most beautiful and the most precious.
