Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cross Purposes: A Christmas Experience in Seven Stages
Within, mellow wax-light from a dozen old time sconces ?oods, soft and warm, the antique furniture, heavy curtains and festoons of glossy green, through which rich red berries gleam. Far back in the capacious hearth roars and splutters a veritable Yule-log, sending forked tongues of lambent ?ame up the broad chim ney, with message of defiance from the Fire King to the Storm Fiend shrieking in baf?ed wrath around its tall tops.
