Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Four Corners
The town itself was one that stood at the foot Of Virginia's blue mountains. The house where the Corners lived was on the edge Of the town, facing a street which ended at the front gate. At the side Of the garden another long street wound its way uphill and was called the old County Road when it began to go down grade. The house was a ram bling Old affair which had not been painted for some years and was, therefore, of an indescribable hue. One wing was shut up, but the remainder was made excellent use Of by four lively girls, of whom the eldest was Nancy Weston. She was variously known as Nan, Nance or Nannie, though she greatly preferred Nannette and sometimes stealthily signed herself so. When she was, as her Cousin Phil expressed it, on the bias, he Often delighted to tease her by calling her Sharp Corner, but her Aunt Sarah Often declared that West Corner suited her perfectly since from that quarter sprang up the briskest, as well as the most agreeable, of breezes.
