Excerpt from Youth in HarleyThis is Mis' Whitney's, he said. If you find it's all right, I guess Jim '11 help ye take in your trunk. Thus, sitting quiet in his wagon, he let the young man meet his landlady unannounced.Stephen's introduction to the house was easier than he had been led to expect. Mrs. Whitney herself came to the door, a portentously thin figure in a shapeless gray dress, with gray hair drawn tight across her tem ples in a way that accentuated the emaciation of her face. She was not lovely to look at, yet the quiet depth of her voice, when she spoke, made one forget to think her grotesque.Mr. Quaid? She said gently. The train must have been late again to-night. Your room is waiting for you. My husband will help you bring in your trunk. James!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
