Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The White House
That was what the rain said, the wind-driven summer rain, lashing the long line of windows in sudden angry rushes, beating it out against the windows in that long room which had been devised to be unlike everybody else's rooms, not quite a picture-gallery and not quite a drawing-room, - a store-house for things of exceeding value, rare ?owers that perish in aday, rarer furniture that had belonged to a martyr queen, or had been sold at an amazing price on that pretence.
The beating of the rain upon glass grew louder, and told the story of life-weariness with brutal emphasis.
