Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Falling Star
The newcomer leaned his gun against the rock, and drawing a pipe from the pocket of his shooting-coat, commenced leisurely to fill it. Every now and then he glanced at the boy, who seemed once more to have be come unconscious Of his presence. He struck a match and lit the tobacco, stooping down for a moment to escape the slight evening breeze. Then he threw the match away, and lounged against the lichen-covered fragment of stone.
I wonder, he remarked, why, when you have the whole day in which to come and look at this magnificent view, you should choose to come just at the hour when it has practically been swallowed up.

Excerpt from The Falling Star
"I come at this hour," he said slowly, "because the view does not attract me so much at any other time. It is only when the twilight falls that one can see - properly."
The newcomer took the pipe from his mouth.
"You must have marvellous eyesight, my young friend," he remarked. "To me, everything seems blurred and uncertain."
The boy shook his head.
"You don't understand!" he said, impatiently.
"I do not come here to see the things that any one can see at any hour of the day. There is nothing satisfying in that. I come here to look down and see the things which do not really exist. It is easy enough when one is alone," he added, a little pointedly.
The newcomer laughed softly, - there was more banter than humour in his mirth.
"So my company displeases you? Do you know that I have the right to tell you to get up, and never to pass through that gate again?"
The boy shrugged his shoulders.
"One place is as good as another," he declared.
The man smoked in silence for several moments. Then he withdrew the pipe from his teeth and sighed gently.
"These are indeed democratic days," he said. "You do not know, my young friend, that I am Henry Prestgate Rochester, Esquire, if you please, High Sheriff of this county. Magistrate and Member of Parliament, owner, by-the-bye, of that rock against which you are leaning, and of most of that country below, which you can or cannot see."
