The cubic metre (symbol m³) is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the volume of a cube with edges one metre in length. Older, now unofficial, equivalents were the stere and the kilolitre.
My Lady Stere knows that appearances are sometimes against the best of women; that lies are often told about the most innocent of them.
The distinguished courtesy with which Lord Stere treated her, charmed everybody who witnessed his behaviour, caused the severest critics to admit how perfect a gentleman he was, and to own that his Lordship’s heart at least was in the right place.
