A collection of short sketches, some of which had previously appeared in various magazines, published together posthumously in 1912.

Excerpt from A Weaver of Dreams The road was hot and dusty, but, nevertheless, it allured. Beginning in the hopeless ugliness of a small town's main street, it turned a corner at the postoffice and wandered forth, lazily, at its own capricious will. It widened for a moment at a group of overhanging willows, as though to rest in the fragrant shade, paused where the little stream crooned in the grass, went beside it for a time, then crossed it ...

Excerpt from At the Sign of the Jack O' LanternHer home-coming! How often she had dreamed of it, never for a moment guessing that it might be like this! She had fancied a little house in a suburb, or a cosy apartment in the city, and a lump came into her throat as her air castle dissolved into utter ruin.

If you do not pack up and take to the woods within three days from the receipt of this notice, I will not answer for the consequences. Your brain is slowly but surely giving way. Your batteries are becoming exhausted and must be renewed if measurable currents are to be expected. I recommend new cell...

Excerpt from Love Letters of a MusicianI don't know just how to tell you what I feel to-night, for 1 am little more than a boy and pretty badly confused, even for me. Your letter is all kindness and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, though I cannot see what you have done that should make you ask me to forgive you. 1 have known for a long time how much I cared for you, but I thought I could manage to keep it to myself. I knew that to t...

Excerpt from Old Rose and Silver She lighted the tall candles that stood upon the mantel-shelf, straightened a rug, moved a chair, and gathered up a handful of fallen rose-petals on her way to the window. She was about to draw down the shade, but, instead, her hand dropped slowly to her side, her fingers unclasped, and the crushed crimson petals fluttered to the floor. Outside, the purple dusk of Winter twilight lay soft upon the snow. Throu...
