Chapter II
Paul's head ached a good deal next morning and he was disinclined to rise. However, the sun blazed in at his windows, and a bird sang in a tree. His temper was the temper of next day--sodden, and sullen, and ashamed. He even resented the sunshine. But what a beautiful creature he looked, as later he stepped into a boat for a row on the lake!
