But the true spell which made dear to Harold therude building of timber, with its doors open all day to his lithsmen, when with a light heart he escaped from the halls of Westminster, wasthe fair face of Edith his neighbour. The impression which this younggirl had made upon Harold seemed to partake of the strength of afatality. For Harold had loved her before the marvellous beauty ofher womanhood began; and, occupied from his earliest youth in graveand earnest affairs, his heart had never been ...frittered away on themean and frivolous affections of the idle. Now, in that comparativeleisure of his stormy life, he was naturally most open to theinfluence of a charm more potent than all the glamoury of Hilda. The autumn sun shone through the golden glades of the forest-land, when Edith sate alone on the knoll that faced forestland and road, andwatched afar. And the birds sung cheerily; but that was not the sound for whichEdith listened: and the squirrel darted from tree to tree on the swardbeyond; but not to see the games of the squirrel sat Edith by thegrave of the Teuton.
