Chapter IX
OVER THE GARDEN WALL Miss Mivvins was very full of thought of the man who had left her; he was full to the point of over-brimming of thought of her. They were soulful thoughts, which lasted them both till sleep closed the windows of their souls. In the case of the man the eyelids remained wide open till the grey dawn flushed rosily before the rising sun. Even then he dreamt: of her. Later, when he awoke, it was evident that a halo of success would surround his weather prophecy.
