Synopsis
Excerpt from The House on Stilts: A Novel
I am afraid you are incorrigible, said the con sul, beaming upon his beautiful daughter. But, dear me! He exclaimed. This will never do. I must go back to my biscuits, or Mrs. Pierson will never forgive me.
With this, he hastened back toward the house, and we followed him, at a more leisurely pace.
Then it was that I noticed, for the first time, that my three Shipmates had strangely altered their appearance since last I had seen them. Each was garbed in the long, black clothes of half a century ago; each was dressed like Lincoln. When they had arrived, dripping, from the sea, the consul had evidently outfitted them. The effect was decidedly antique.
A little, gray-haired lady appeared upon the porch as we ascended the steps.
