Chapter XXII
Eleanor did not rise now, as a rule, till half way through the morning. Lucy had left her in bed. It was barely nine o'clock. Every eastern or southern window was already fast closed and shuttered, but her door stood open to the _loggia_ into which no sun penetrated till the afternoon. A fresh breeze, which seemed the legacy of the storm, blew through the doorway.
