Behind her rises a tall shrub of an intense green, against which the soft whiteness of her satin gown gleams with a peculiar richness. Her gaze is fixed upon a distant planet that watches her solemnly through the window from its seat in the far-off heaven, "silent, as if it watch'd the sleeping earth." "In that I spoke the truth," says Mr. Rodney, with a shameless laugh, "because it was an uncle who left me some money."
