| First Sentence: |
It was a cheerful kitchen, full of ruddy fire-shine, and frescoed with the soft smoke-tints that had curled around the ceiling from blazes innumerable-a kitchen where every vein in the floor-boards was outlined against the ivory white surface, and the afternoon sunshine came glinting in among the velvety green leaves of Gracia Wyatt's geraniums that filled the low window seat. |
| Last Sentence: |
But she has not yet settled on the successor to Harry Drew, in her good graces; and every widower and bachelor in the village stands in imminent danger, until the sun has gone down on the last day of Leap Year. |
