Excerpt from Home Again
Mr. Colman made no answer; the dusky, sweet-smelling waves of the silence closed over its laceration.
I am well aware my Opinion is of no Value in your eyes, Richard; but that does not absolve me from the duty of stating it: if you allow him to go on as he is doing now, W'alter will never eat bread of his own earning!

Excerpt from Home Again
The Parlour.
In the dusk of the old-fashioned best room of a farm-h0use, in the faint glow of the buried sun though the sods of his July grave, sat two elderly persons, dimly visible, breathing the odour which roses unseen sent through the twilight and open window. One of the two was scarcely conscious of the odour, for she did not believe in roses; she believed mainly in mahogany, linen, and hams; to the other it brought too much sadness to be welcomed, for it seemed, like the sunlight, to issue from the grave of his vanished youth.
