Wisp AG irl of Dublin Langsley covered her face with her arm, her long braids of brown hair falling about her shoulders. Her sister looked at her helplessly and then off at the winter stillness of St. Stephen s Green in Dublin, off to where the mild sunshine made the winding duck pond a frail silver curve through the gray, leafless trees. Laughter came from the edge of the pond where a group of ragged children were having a contest as to who could throw their bit of bread the farthest. Here s Miss Peck. She scoming along by the upper path and she sees you re crying. Christine Langsley patted her sisters arm vigorously. A short woman with nearsighted eyes and sandy hair, dressed in a brown frieze suit and a shabby little hat, came up to them. Dear, dear, Beryl, what is the matter? she asked with real concern. Beryl was feeling about for her handkerchief, and, not finding it, accepted the one that Christine shoved into her hand, and before she could reply Miss Peck exclaimed again: Surely, Beryl, you havent lost the pretty blue handkerchief that came to you in one of your letters from girl friends in A merica, this morning? I saw you put it in your pocket when we started out! ejaculated Miss Peck. She sdropped it somewhere. Ill go and look for it, suggested Christine. That sa good girl, Chrissie! It might be down by the pond.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
