Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of George Meredith, Vol. 10 When the sun takes to shining in winter, and the South-west to blowing, the corners of the earth cannot hide from him - the mornings are like halls full of light. Robert had spent his hopes upon a wet day that would have kept the congregation sparse and the guests at Fairly absent from public devotions. He perceived at once that he was doomed to be under everybody's eyes when he walked down the aisle, for everybody would attend the service on such a morning as this. Already he had met his conscience, in so far as that he shunned asking Percy again what was the reason for their going to church, and he had not the courage to petition to go in the afternoon instead of the morning. The question, 'are you ashamed of yourself, then?' sang in his ears as a retort ready made. There was no help for it; so he set about assisting his ingenuity to make the best appearance possible brushing his hat and coat with extraordinary care.
