Excerpt from Well Won
IT was a fine warm morning, and Mrs. Thorpe was a little earlier than usual on the day succeeding that described in the last chapter. She was seated, pen in hand, at a writing-table in one of the windows of the library, which overlooked a piece of ornamental ground at the back of the houses in Richmond Gardens, and which entitled them to that appellation. She was a slight, willowy woman, with very fair hair and light blue eyes. Her smile though sweet was a little sad, and her voice low and timid. A gentle, loving woman, yet not altogether devoid of strength, although it was hid den too far down under the surface strata of shyness and self-distrust to be easily recognized or evoked.
Her blotting-book was Open, and a long slip of paper covered with figures lay before her. A pile of small books were on one side of the table, and at the other stood a severe-looking woman in a prim white cap, a neat print dress, and a large white apron.
