Excerpt from Mornings at Matlock, Vol. 2 of 3

The ladies sat in solemn silence, engaged in the manufacture of some of the nick-nackeries on which the fair sex so often delight to expend their time and their ingenuity. The very lap dogs basked in the sun, and, as the newspaper paragraph-makers say, lazily sank into the arms of Morpheus.
