Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton: A Novel Ir was all settled one evening in the deep winter-time. Out side, a sharp east wind was whistling round the solitudes of Box Hill; the Mole, at the foot of our garden, as it stole stealtt through the darkness, crackled the flakes of ice that lay along its level banks; and away on Mickleham Downs - and on the far ther uplands towards the sea - the cold stars were shining down on a thin coating of snow. Indoors there was another story to tell; for the mistress of the house - Queen Titania, as we call her - a small person, with a calm, handsome, pale face, an abundance of black hair, big eyes that are occasionally somewhat cold and critical in look, and a certain magnificence of manner which makes you fancy her rather a tall and stately woman - has a trick of so filling her drawing room with dexterous traceries of grass and ferns, with plentiful flowers of her own rearing, and with a clouded glare of light, that, amidst the general warmth, the glow and perfume, and vari ety of brilliant colors, you would almost forget that the winter is chill and desolate and dark.
