Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Story Within a Story
I don't wonder, replied Roy; everybody loves it. It's such a dear face, Miss Alice; I never saw anyone's but mamma's that was so beautiful.
Miss Alice, once indeed a beauty, is a pale, thin-faced woman now, because of sorrow and ill health, looking much older than she is, but at heart a fresh-checked child. For the reason, perhaps, that, in her own words, she did not begin to live really until she was eighteen years old - her birthday falling on a Sun day morning one summer at Cherrydale. It had been the winter before that we first met, quite fifteen years ago - What racers the years are!
