Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Miss. Bagg's Secretary: A Best Point Komance
Near the north window in the back parlor of a house in New York a girl of about nineteen sat before an easel. The Sheet spread beneath her chair was well littered with blackened bread-crumbs, and her brow was puckered anxiously as she paused, the hand holding her stump poised in air and her eyes fixed upon the nearly finished crayon portrait before her.
As she sat thus, the faded portiere which con cealed this room from the front parlor parted, and there entered a thin-faced woman, bonneted and shawled, whose gray eyes shone pleasantly behind steel-bowed spectacles. She smiled at sight of the girl, and because she smiled that dingy back room was a pleasant place to be in.
