Explore "A Change in the Cabinet" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Sir Charles Repton woke upon the Tuesday morning he felt better / than he had felt at any moment since the loss of his youth. There / seemed something easy in the air about him, and within his mind a lack / of business and friction which he did not account for at the time, but / which perhaps in a vague manner he may have ascribed to the purity of / the air and the beauty of the day.
The sun was streaming into his windows from over the Park. It was / already warm, and as he dressed and shaved himself he allowed his / thoughts to wander with an unaccustomed freedom over the simple / things of life. He noted the colour of the trees; he was glad to see / the happiness of the passers-by in the streets below; he felt an / unaccountable sympathy with the human race, and he was even touched / with contempt as he gazed at the long procession of wealthy houses / which marked the line of Park Lane.
