Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Strangers
Nothing wrong, certainly, said the mother, with a half smile; but - there is no need for entering into all these details.
They would have found out immediately, though, said Lucy, with a lowered voice, f' that there was - Tiny, you know.
The scene was a drawing-room in a country house looking out upon what was at this time of year the rather damp and depressing pros pect of a park, with some fine trees and a great breadth of very green, very mossy, very wet grass. It was only October, though the end of the month; and in the middle of the day, in the sunshine, the trees, in all their varied colors, were a fine sight, cheerful and almost exhilarating, beguiling the eye; but now the sun was gone, the leaves were falling in little showers whenever the faintest breathof air arose, and where the green turf was not veiled by their many colored remnants, it was green with that emerald hue which means only wet; one knew as one gazed across it that one's foot would sink in the spongy surface, and wet, wet would be the boot, the skirt which touched it; the men in their knickerbockers, or those carefully turned up trousers - which we hear are the fashion in the dryest streets of Paris and New York - suffered comparatively little. The brushwood was all wet, with blobs of moist ure on the long brambles and drooping leaves. The park was considered a beautiful park, though not a very large one, but it was mel ancholy itself to look out for hours together upon that green expanse in such an evening. It was not a bad evening either. There was no rain; the clouds hung low, but as yet had given forth no shower. The air was damp but yet brisk. There was a faint yellow glim mer of what might have been sunset in the sky.
