Excerpt from Rosa Mundi and Other Stories
Was the water blue, or was it purple that day? Randal Courteney stretched his lazy length on the shady side of the great natural breakwater that protected Hurley Bay from the Atlantic rollers, and wondered. It was a day in late September, but the warmth Of it was as a dream of summer returned. The season was nearly over, or he had not betaken himself thither, but the spell Of heat had prolonged it unduly. It had been some thing Of a shock to him to find the place still Occupied by a buzzing crowd Of visitors. He never came to it till he judged the holidays to be practically over. For he loved it only when empty. His idea of rest was solitude.
He wondered how long this pearly weather would last, and scanned the sky for a cloud. In vain! There was no cloud all round that blue horizon, and behind him the cliffs stood stark against an azure sky. Summer was lingering, and even he had not the heart to wish her gone.
