Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lilies, White and Red
A familiar noise now completely roused the decrepit pets. The fox terrier slowly and pain fully made her way towards the door, which opened, admitting a little elderly lady who seemed rather to glide over the threshold. With measured and precise, but at the same time delicate and graceful movements, she came forward, stooped and caressed her faith ful canine friend who, satisfied, returned to her cushion, and then seating herself in the armchair, the newcomer took up a little leather bound religious book and presently was lost in its contemplation.
The presence of this frail little person, who had seemingly slipped into the room, did not in the least disturb the harmonious atmosphere. On the contrary, she added to its perfection, so like was she to the group of obj ects that sur rounded her, all become related through long and constant association.
