First sentence: THE SHADES OF EVENING were closing in upon a stormy March day, and rain and sleet were falling fast, while a blustering northeast wind sent them sweeping across the desolate-looking fields and gardens and over the wet road where a hack was lumbering along.
Description: Elsie's family continues to grow and change, embracing both new life as well as death. Evelyn's mother, Laura Leland, is very ill with consumption; brothers Arthur and Calhoun Conley both become fathers. Rosie Travilla and Will Croly tie the knot, as do long-time bachelor Dick Percival and Maud Dinsmore. There is also another proposal in store . . .
