## Summary

It was a dim, quiet room in an old–fashioned New York house, with windows opening upon a garden that was trim and attractive, even in its Winter dress—for the rose–bushes were all bundled up in straw ulsters. The room was ample, yet it had a cosy air. Its dark hangings suggested comfort and luxury, with no hint of gloom. A hundred pretty trifles told that it was a young girl’s room: in the deep alcove nestled her dainty white bed, draped with creamy lace and ribbons.
