"I was motoring through a countryside of steep hills and valleys ; dusk was beginning to fall ; ' lighting-up time ' had not actually come, but I was warned by the faint scent, cold, clean and unmistakable, that belongs to valley mist, that, besides the natural darkening of the evening, a light mist was beginning to rise and to obscure the road."
