Excerpt from Contrary Mary
He had a fancy, as he sat there waiting, that neither he nor this room were in accord with the things that were going on in the big house. Out side oi the closed door the radiant guests were still ascending the stairway on shining wings of light. He could hear the music of their laughter, and the deeper note of men's voices, rising and growing fainter in a sort of transcendent harmony.
When the door was finally opened, it was done quickly and was shut quickly, and the girl who had entered laughed breathlessly as she turned to him.
