Description
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney published this work of fiction in 1893, in twenty-two chapters with names such as Luclarion, Hazel's Inspiration, and Morning Glories. The story opens in a city house where blinds are shut and windows shaded against the day. Two little girls slip out of a pantry window with their books.
They settle on a shed roof under a tall fir tree, in a spot Luclarion had passed over for a place down on the bricks. Later chapter titles promise news reaching Homesworth, talk overheard in Aspen Street, and questions and answers among neighbors and kin. Whitney builds her tale from home scenes, small choices, and the pull between town ways and plain living.
