"'Tis a very old-fashioned term, madam," said General Groves, "current in my time, but I question if much understood in this." It was a world of silence, a world bathed in golden haze, that Stanhope gazed upon with the restoration of his sight. A long time his eyes dwelt upon the vista before him, with its naked trees piercing the mauve-line of morning mist shimmering above the yellow wood-smoke.
