Excerpt from The Right of the Strongest
Whether to take the big road that wound round the knob or the much shorter footpath across the hill was the question. Mary Elizabeth stood at the parting of the ways and pondered. Each route had its drawbacks. The longer and more frequented way had late arrival and a sharp scolding at the end, while the path that would take her home in time for supper led up the steep hill by the ha'nted house and down again through the dark - green twi light of the pine forest beyond.
