Excerpt from The Sheep and the GoatsShe looked in the cool, Shaded drawing-room for a figure which had been wont, of late, to take large possession of that pleasant place, seizing upon its easiest chair, lopping over either end Of its sofa, squatting, with the grace inseparable from its long, limber proportions, on the floor, if that position happened to commend itself.
