Excerpt from A Boston Girl's Ambitions
It was one of those lovely days which, in that latitude, succeed the autumnal equinox. The sun lay With soft, mellow warmth on the tall brick houses opposite, and on the sidewalk of the narrow, irregular street. It was easy to fancy, at that mo ment, that the summer had relented, and turned back to smile upon the land she had left to the fierce lashing of the line-storm.
