Opis

Excerpt from A Humble Romance, and Other Stories She was stooping over the great kitchen sink, washing the breakfast dishes. Under fostering circumstances, her slenderness of build might have resulted in delicacy or daintiness; now the harmony between strength and task had been repeatedly broken, and the result was ugliness. Her finger joints and wrist bones were knotty and out of proportion, her elbows, which her rolled-up sleeves dis played, were pointed and knobby, her shoulders bent, her feet spread beyond their natural bounds - from head to foot she was a little discordant note. She had a pale, peaked face, her scanty fair hair was strained tightly back, and twisted into a tiny knot, and her expression was at once passive and eager. There came a ringing knock at the kitchen door, and a face of another description, large, strong-featured, and assured, peered out of the pantry, which was over against the sink. "Who is it, Sally?" "I don' know, Mis' King." "Well, go to the door, can't you, an' not stan' thar gapin'. I can't; my hands are in the butter." Sally shook the dish-water off her red, sodden fingers, and shuffled to the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
