130 . THE ISLE OF WIGHT 



the lightest summer clothing to witness that 

 grand spectacle from the hills above and the 

 shores on both sides must have had like experi- 

 ence and yet those who did see it report that 

 the illumination itself was vastly Improved by 

 the blackness of darkness and the downpour of 

 rain in which it was enveloped. We found a 

 charming supper awaiting us, and so amid the 

 merry chatter and laughter of our girls and boys 

 we placidly enjoyed it and thankfully went to 

 bed.
