Book Description

Excerpt from The Wheel of God There was a square shade made of six panes or glass, joined by faded rose ribbons it sheltered a wonderful thatched cottage, fashioned of card board, had tiny windows with lace curtains, and a porch made of pillars of ingeniously rolled paper. Sprigs of moss and the most fairy-like roses climbed up the walls. It was in some way asso ciated with her docile moments when she sat and purled a seam in the dining-room, the big room where the firelight danced on the massive silver; the fire was fed out of the great green wooden tub, with shining brass bands, that held black, brick-like rods of turf, hard as ironwood.
