The wild rocky coast, the crying of the seagulls, and the low roar of the ocean all tended to awe me.

And then to quiet my mind into a calm reverie.

How beautiful is this world, I thought.

I wonder if there is anything that can exceed in loveliness such scenes as these.

Or the glorious Alps.

O'er the splendid rough cornish coast in a storm.

or the lake districts of the north.

This world is very beautiful.

I'm afraid I must have been giving way to the bad habit I sometimes have when quite alone of talking to myself.

For suddenly I was aroused by a slight rustling behind me.

I turned.

And a very singular looking person met my gaze.

He was a very short, fair young man.

Greatly deformed about the shoulders.

He was dressed in a common ouvrier's costume with a large Breton hat and a cloak thrown over his blouse.

His face, however, in spite of his coarse costume and manifest deformity, was of exquisite refinement and even beauty.

His complexion was fair as a girl's, but pale even to bloodlessness.

His eyes, though somewhat obscured by the hat, were most strange and brilliant and

His features small and delicate.

He had neither moustache nor beard, and scarcely looked above twenty.
