Excerpt from Christmas-Tree Land
IT was not their home. That was easy to be seen by the eager looks of curiosity and surprise on the two little faces inside the heavy travelling carriage. Yet the faces were grave, and there was a weary look in the eyes, for the journey had been long, and it was not for pleasure that it had been undertaken. The evening was drawing in, and the day had been a somewhat gloomy one, but as the light slowly faded, a soft pink radiance Spread itself over the Sky. They had been driving for some distance through a flat monotonous country; then, as the ground began to rise, the coach-man relaxed his speed, and the children, without knowing it, fell into a half slumber.
