Excerpt: ...lay lazily upon its southern slope, basking in the sun. Sometimes a wan Pg 186 dering wind brought a fresh scent of lusty leaves or a divine hint of bloom. Alden's Feast The old-fashioned square piano, long silent, was open now, and had been put in order. In the evenings, after dinner, Edith would play, dreamily, in the dusk or by the light of one candle. The unshaded light, shining full upon her face, brought out the delicacy of her profile and allured stray gleams from the burnished masses of her hair.

And as always, like a halo, stray gleams hovered about her head, bent slightly forward now and full into the light, throwing into faint relief the short straight nose, and the full, short upper lip.
