Excerpt from Yellowleaf

Lady mary dampierre sat by the fire in the low, irregular shaped drawing-room of Yellowleaf, her house in St. John's Wood.

She was tired, and had pushed away the great embroidery-frame that seemed almost as much a part of her as did the luxurious, complicated wheel-chair, out of which her grandchildren, Jim and Picotee, could not remember having seen her.

Against the black velvet cushion at her back her little old face looked almost like that of a statue, but it was the colour of the golden marble loved by the Greek sculptors in the golden period of Athens. Her eyes, her commanding, glowing eyes, were closed, thus making prominent the chief peculiarity of her striking old face - the extreme length and silkiness of her lashes.
