Excerpt from A Diamond in the Rough, Vol. 1 of 3
The View whereon he gazed was by no means extensive. It consisted of a small plateau immediately beneath the window, the trees which bordered it, and the garden benches and tables disposed about it, all thickly covered with snow; beyond that a couple of narrow ledges, or terrace-walks then, apparently, a Sheer precipice. Where the ground ended a grey mist began, seething up, as it were, from the abyss below to meet and engulph the dancing, gyrating white crystals that floated down wards into it with an effect that, after long gazing, made the brain feel dizzy and bewildered.

Excerpt from A Diamond in the Rough, Vol. 1 of 3
'I say, young man, waken up! What a heavy sleeper you are, to be sure! I knocked twice at your door before coming in. Do rouse yourself!'
This adhortation was accompanied by a shake of the shoulder. Charlie Nunnerley, the speaker's cousin, turned over and sleepily rubbed his eyes.
'Hello, Victor - time to get up?' he asked, yawning.
'I should think so, rather, at a quarter to ten!'
