Excerpt from Dr. Thorne's Idea: Originally Published as "Gloria Victis"

He appeared undecided, looking first toward the Open door of the cottage, then over the Opposite fields to the harbor beyond, where floated the craft of every nation. The day was warm, but a gentle breeze from the water somewhat tempered the heat; not enough, however, to cool the rays of a blind ing sun now directly overhead. The air near the earth quivered beneath the scorching light, and in this neglected garden stray bees and humming-birds, drunk with heat and honey, reeled blindly to and fro.
