House
P[~mo.tb street
SHE HAD found the house by herself??? that cold Octo-
ber day in the quiet countryside south of Boston.
The two-chimneyed white clapboard house??? shut-
tered in gray and clearly very old??? had a settled air
as it stood on its slight rise well back from the road
under elms. Mrs. Tyrell did not have the boldness
to knock on doors and ask about properties for sale
~ . . but here there was a tall young girl??? bundled
into a blue parka and raking desultorily under a
bronze-gold burn of hickory tree in a corner near
the road.
Mrs. Tyrell had Bonnet with her??? the large Airedale
of whom the current babysitter was ridiculously
afraid??? but not his leash~ She closed the car door
against his expectant whiskers and approached the
girl??? who leaned on the rake and watched her come.
For her age??? somewhere in the midteens??? she had
a colorless and surprisingly dreary face. \"Hello???\" said
Mrs. Tyrell??? against her will as sprightly as a dental
nurse. \"My husband and I are house hunting around
here--Cresset seems like a very pretty town--and I
wondered if by any chance you knew of a place for
sale with a few acres?\"
