Excerpt from “A Wedding Morn”
“Ivy slept with the lodger, who went by the name of Miss Peach Grey, forgetting some baptismal Maud or Mabel, and worked as mannequin at a small but aspiring dressmaker's. She was still asleep, and Ivy felt glad, for she did not want talk or company just yet. She wanted to feel herself alone, to gather some sort of strength with which to face the day.”
