Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Every Woman Knows: A Comedy
The other chairs are horse-hair, than which nothing is more comfortable if there be a good slit down the seat. The seats are heavily dented, because all the Wylie family sit down with a dump. The draught board is on the edge of a large centre table, which also displays four books placed at equal distances from each other, one of them a Bible, and another the family album. If these were the only books they would not justify Maggie in calling this chamber the library, her dogged name for it; while David and James call it the west-room and Alick calls it 'the room, ' which is to him the natural name for any apart ment without a bed in it. There is a bookcase of pitch pine, which contains sis: hundred books, with glass doors to prevent your getting at them.
