Synopsis
Excerpt from But a Philistine
The inmates had experienced little inconvenience from the heats of the last fortnight. Breezes cool from the sea, airs fragrant with the Old Maine pine woods had found their way through Open doors and windows, while the broad piazza made a grateful shade in the lower rooms.

Soon after breakfast a gentleman entered the library with a prompt, decided step, went to the window, unfastened one of the long blinds, and gazed out on the landscape. He could not detect the lightest cloud on all the blue, hot sky; he glanced Off to the sea, one vast field Of blue, too, shining and tumbling in the sunlight.
