      CHAMBER OF CENTURIES

      We came over the brow of the hill at twilight. Back of us was the last dying flush of the summer sunset; ahead of us the sprawling, ill-organized, little township of Calford. Somehow, the sight of the place came as a shock to me.

      After the happy days of marriage and honeymoon, the whirlwind travel in and between cities, it was exceedingly depressing to find at journey’s end a shambles of makeshift shops and houses, dominated on the eastern side by a solitary residence in its own grounds.

      That the place? I asked Jane, as our car coasted down the long slope.

      She gave a quiet nod, but did not speak. I had noticed that expression of gloom on her usually bright young face for some time now. Her dark eyes stared somberly through the windscreen.
