Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Craque O'doom
Like two night-birds who had. Strayed into the wrong season, a pair of girls ?opped about on the snowy walk or huddled together outside Of the Hill-house. The house was lighted. They could see, through one uncovered window, which ex tended to the veranda ?oor, the ruby gates, the cut-glass candelabra, and the luxurious furniture. The girls were on the west side Of the house, which was a large square structure with exten sions at the rear.
Below the hill an Old turnpike town straggled eastward, its lights barely twinkling through a win ter fog. The evergreens and Old forest-trees all around the grounds were weighted with soft snow, and there were occasional slides from the roof which dropped with a half-liquid splash.
