First sentence: THE placid close of an exquisite day; the peaceful evening of a prosperous life; the scene a villa garden on the shore of Lake Como, a long terrace shaded by spreading planes, willows dipping in the water, and across the lake, dazzling in the sunlight, the white walls and tall cupola of Bellagio, the pink and yellow houses, the green blinds, the striped awnings, the red roofs, a medley of colour dimly defined in the distance, and, crowning all, the wooded crest of the hill where the Villa Serbaloni smiles at the westering sun.
