The Mischief-Maker (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Mischief-Maker The girl who was dying lay in an invalid chair piled up with cushions in a sheltered corner of the lawn. The woman who had come to visit her had deliberately turned away her head with a murmured word about. The sunshine and the field of buttercups. Behind them was the little sanitarium, a gray stone villa built in the style of a chateau, overgrown with creepers, and with terraced lawns stretching down to the sunny corner to which the girl had been carried earlier in the day. There were flowers everywhere - beds of hyacinths, and borders of purple and yellow crocuses A lilac tree was bursting into blossom, the breeze was: soft and full of life. Below, beyond the yellow - starred. Field of which the woman had spoken, flowed the Seine, and in the distance one could see the outskirts of Paris.
