Synopsis

Excerpt from The Isle of Dreams

Two for Miss Merrill. One for Mr. Drum mond. Three for Mr. Drummond. Four for Miss Merrill. And, oh, deary, deary, me! Here's one for Miss Merrill in the bold, free, striking writing of a man. They mostly usestypewriters and young females to write their letters for 'em nowadays, and when you see the bold, free, striking writing of a man 'tis a very dangerous looking sign. Five for Mr. Drummond. Two for Mrs. Drummond. One for Mrs. Denis - that's the milk bill and a very fair collection altogether I call it, except for that bold, free, striking one for my lamb. They'll take her away from me some day, I suppose; but that's life and na ture, as Denis used to say. Oh, deary me!

Suddenly the park, the sky, and the sun shine vanished - shut out by two tiny hands.

Glory be! Cried Mrs. Denis, making no effort to free herself. I wonder who, now, would be up to such contrary tricks.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Isle of Dreams It was an imposing house - wide and dignified and cool, though one could hardly have called it handsome. Built in the days before the New York architect had been forced up into the air to find space, it stood upon a piece of land ample enough to allow of a strip of green and a few magnolias before its windows, and, at the back, a larger patch of green inclosing a fountain, a flower bed or so, a tree or two, an arbor, and some garden chairs. The brass trappings about its hospitable door were polished to a dazzling brilliance, its windows were bright, its curtains immaculate, and its grass plots carefully trimmed.
