The day succeeding this remarkable1 Midsummer night, proved no common day. I do not mean that it brought signs in heaven above, or portents2 on the earth beneath; nor do I allude3 to meteorological phenomena4, to storm, flood, or whirlwind. On the contrary: the sun rose jocund5, with a July face. Morning decked her beauty with rubies6, and so filled her lap with roses, that they fell from her in showers, making her path blush: the Hours woke fresh as nymphs, and emptying on the early hills their dew-vials, they stepped out dismantled7 of vapour: shadowless, azure8, and glorious, they led the sun’s steeds on a burning and unclouded course.

In short, it was as fine a day as the finest summer could boast; but I doubt whether I was not the sole inhabitant of the Rue9 Fossette, who cared or remembered to note this pleasant fact. Another thought busied all other heads; a thought, indeed, which had its share in my meditations10; but this master consideration, not possessing for me so entire a novelty, so overwhelming a suddenness, especially so dense11 a mystery, as it offered to the majority of my co-speculators thereon, left me somewhat more open than the rest to any collateral12 observation or impression.

Still, while walking in the garden, feeling the sunshine, and marking the blooming and growing plants, I pondered the same subject the whole house discussed.
