Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The One Who Looked On
This story, if it can be called a story, was not told connectedly as it is written down in these pages, but in fragments and at various times.
Susie, from whom I heard it, was no longer young when I first knew her. She was the most motherly woman that it has ever been my luck to meet.
That she never married; that she had no babies of her own, was, I think, fortunate for the many forlorn children, not her own, who had good cause to love her.
Susie was Irish, and, when she talked, her words came out as if she relished the taste of them. She was not critical, but she had a trick of observation, and her reminiscences always interested me.
