[1] THE PLAY HOUSE
Amelia Maxwell sat by the front-chamber window of the great house overlooking the road, and her own
"story-an'-a-half" farther toward the west. Every day she was alone under her own roof, save at the times
when old lady Knowles of the great house summoned her for work at fine sewing or braiding rags. All
Amelia's kin were dead. Now she was used to their solemn absence, and sufficiently at one with her own
humble way of life, letting her few acres at the halves, and earning a dollar here and there with her clever
fingers. She was but little over forty, yet she was aware that her life, in its keener phases, was already done.
She had had her romance and striven to forget it; but out of that time pathetic voices now and then called to
her, and old longings awoke, to breathe for a moment and then sleep again.
