The Rector of Wyck

Excerpt from The Rector of Wyck It was half-past seven in a morning of May, eighteen eighty-two. Martha Fenwick sat up suddenly as the rap on the door waked her. She kicked off the bed-clothes and tossed out her white feet, eager for the day. Such a day - clear, crystal sunlight streaming through the open window; outside, beyond Ormonde Terrace, down the intersecting yellow walks of Primrose Hill, the leaves of the young poplars turned and turned with a silver shivering; the red may trees were in flower and the warm wind brought to her their smooth, delicious smell. They were beautiful as they stood there in the sunlight, their heavy red-flowered branches drooping to the bright green grass. Martha was excited. She felt that something was going to happen; every morning she woke with this feeling of something about to happen - something happy, something exciting. Anything might happen on a day like this.
