Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

Now, have you
anything more to show us?"
"No. I have a spare room, and Jenifer has a kitchen and sleeping place
beyond, but they are not worth showing."
They went out into the little square hall, and so into the study.
Leonore began unfolding her gloves.
"I've had a very nice time," she said. "I think I shall come again very
often, I like down-town New York." Leonore was making her first trip to
it, so that she spoke from vast knowledge.
"I can't tell you how pleasant it has been to me. It isn't often that
such sunshine gets in here," said Peter.
"Then you do prefer sunshine to grimy old law books?" inquired Leonore,
smiling demurely.
"Some sunshine," said Peter, meaningly.
"Wherever there has been sunshine there ought to be lots of flowers. I
have a good mind--yes, I will--leave you these violets," Leonore took a
little bunch that she had worn near her throat and put them and her hand
in Peter's. And she hadn't put her glove on yet! Then she put her gloves
on, and Peter shook hands.
