Only a Year and What It Brought (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Only a Year and What It Brought While she clumsily sewed on the buckle, there was something of a choking feeling in her throat and she muttered to herself, It's worse when I try than when I don't try. I shall never do any better. She went out of the house in a slouching, round shouldered fashion, turning a discontented face up the road and down as she looked for her father and sister. But if you had met her a half an hour afterwards, you would not have known her for the same girl: her sallow cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright; she stood in the edge of a little wood of spruce and pine, with soft, snow-laden branches all about her, and as a breeze stirred every bough, a look came into her listening face as if she heard something more than the wind among the trees.
