 In the doorway of the old-fashioned white and green cottage, stood Netta. Before and all about her. the wealth of trees and shrubs stood bleak and stripped.
 Two brilliant roses had slipped into the girls cheeks. and the eyes above them looked deep and dark with a radiant happiness. Her hair, black and waving, tumbIed picturesquely over a smooth, white forehead. Somewhere inside the room. a clock struck four, and Netta drew in her breath with a sudden heartbeat.
