Description

Her hair was nut-brown and all in energic curls and tendrils.

Her eyes were nut-brown, too, like a robin's for brightness. And he was white-skinned with fine, silky hair that had darkened from fair, and a slightly arched nose of an old country family.

They were a beautiful couple.The house was Winifred's.

Her father was a man of energy, too. He had come from the north poor. Now he was moderately rich. He had bought this fair stretch of inexpensive land, down in Hampshire.

Not far from the tiny church of the almost extinct hamlet stood his own house, a commodious old farmhouse standing back from the road across a bare grassed yard.

On one side of this quadrangle was the long, long barn or shed which he had made into a cottage for his youngest daughter Priscilla.

One saw little blue-and-white check curtains at the long windows, and inside, overhead, the grand old timbers of the high-pitched shed.
