Excerpt from Barbara Dering, Vol. 1 of 2

More than two years had passed since Dering left Rosemary. There was a soft, gold-gray mist over every thing; the tulip-tree leaves glimmered a pale yellow against the dark evergreens on, the lawn; the Indian corn, standing in great tasselled shocks, gave forth a dry rustle now and then as a field-creature scampered through it a crow could be heard sometimes very faintly, as though drowsing on its listless, slow-moving wings; but, except for such noises, the warm autumn day was silent and the air still.

Barbara was walking through the cornfield, reading as she went. Her figure, in its dimly-tinted gown, looked thinner. She was pale, and her mouth had a tired bend at its fine corners.
