Excerpt from At the Sign of the Oldest House: A Modern Romance
Tourists drifted in by twos and threes, pausing just inside the door to enjoy the mellow brown pleasantness of the raftered room, the rich lights given out by massed glass and china, gold and bronze and old dull jewels, inlaid woods and paintings grown mysteriously black. At first they were scarcely aware of a small elderly woman Who took a quarter from every one over twelve, and turned a darkly suspicious stare on any one who claimed to be under that age. She allowed them to browse hap pily among the treasures, keeping on them the eye of a Yankee schoolmistress who watches her class room fill, but letting them imagine themselves free until a dozen or more had collected; then she suddenly un locked her lips and released her tale.
