Excerpt from TransformedMrs. Barney was a slight, wiry woman of medium height, with long dark hair tightly twisted into a knot at the back of her head without regard to smoothness; her complexion was dingy from exposure and greasiness. Her dark eyes had a restless expression, and she had a habit of moving her fingers nervously when she talked. By nature she was more active and energetic than her husband, but in the discouragements of poverty she had grown indolent and careless.A little north of the Waltham district was, fifteen or twenty years ago, a large tract of land known as the swamp and there, on a little clearing, lived the Barneys. The hovel in which they existed was built partly of logs and partly of slabs. It had no floor, and no chim ney; there had been a sort of a floor made of slabs laid with the flat side up, but these, having rested upon the damp ground, had long since rotted away. There had been three windows.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
