Their Base Emulation IV

Genesis, PART TWO, VII, 9-10.

Like Manse Everard's New York apartment in the Time Patrol series, the mid-eighteenth century Surrey estate is a home base between temporal expeditions. If I had gathered all the details into a single post, then it would have been a long one.

Light from the setting sun:

shines through windows;
glows on wood;
touches marble and leather-bound books;
makes rainbows in cut glass;
draws aromas from potpourri.

Laurinda:

puts her amulet in a bureau drawer;
gets crystal glasses from a cabinet;
pours port from a decanter on a sideboard.

In the garden att night:

the moon is full;
Christian and Laurinda waltz on gravel;
they sit by the fish basin;
the water is bright with moonlight;
he sings;
they become lovers.
