Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Warp and Woof: Or New Frames for Old Pictures
It was in my little parlor, and she looked extremely pretty standing there among doctors, lawyers, judges, and quality - a minister in front Of her and a savant at her side. Her shimmering black satin, Sparkling with its jet trimmings, and relieved by a cluster of vivid geraniums, set Off the strong brunette face, with its Wide forehead; heavy eyebrows and dark, earnest eyes. Her wavy, fluffy hair looks as if she'd put her head out in a snow storm and forgotten to brush Off the flakes. Her voice - delicious, soft, and silvery in gay moods - was deep and solemn, for our county! Was the theme Of discussion. Some one hazarded the remark that the temperance question was not the important issue of the age - the Reverend had given as his Opinion that the church militant had other conflicts paramount in importance, and the Professor responded that his party was now and always had been the party of great moral reform - that the temperance question would no doubt receive due attention in time - yes, in time.
