Excerpt from SunsetA needle in Alix's life was a serious thing, it was an implement Of labour such as no one would dream of treating lightly.A deal table above her head was littered with an entanglement Of thread, reels, pins, scraps, lining, tapes, ribbons, laces and silk, out Of which confound ing disorder, skilful hands and a needle were called upon to evolve order, in the form of raiment. Be yond the deal table, behind the child, stood an open box of crippled toys: toys crippled in honest service, but out of which no creditable resurrection was possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“ Miss Whitby is far above the average novelist. . . . This story is original without seeming ingenious, and powerful without being over- drawn.” — New York Commercial Advertiser. “ An admirable portrayal of the development of human character under novel experiences.” — Boston Commonwealth. “The book is a thoroughly good one.

David and she were going to be a wretched pair, a cat and dog couple. The Guthries had certainly no dramatic troubles that she could remember. But trivial irritations, domestic cares, want of confidence undermine happiness, and she had introduced these destructive rifts into the villa lute. She had intended to go into the town--she had shopping to do. She was one of those expensive women who shop for shopping's sake--but she had not energy even to spend and buy.

She must do something, and get this gnawing worry over. Somehow--anyhow--the money should be paid. Great fortunes were to be made on the stage. It was a rich profession amongst such artistes at least as allow their incomes to be published. Mrs. Mallam was on intimate terms with her cousins, the Guthries. She was on those disastrously intimate terms that ignore the formality of the front door-bell--terms that should be unpermissive, under all circumstances, to the Briton whose home is his castle. On some friendly mission, Jane had found opportunity that morning of making her way to the villa to see Valerie, and she boldly turned the handle of the front door upon her arrival, making a noiseless way into the Guthrie fortress, as was her constant wont.
