Suburban Sketches [Large Print] [Paperback]

William Dean Howells (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 14, 2006

It was on a morning of the lovely New England May that we left the horse-car, and, spreading our umbrellas, walked down the street to our new home in Charlesbridge, through a storm of snow and rain so finely blent by the influences of this fortunate climate, that no flake knew itself from its sister drop, or could be better identified by the people against whom they beat in unison.
