Making Fate (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Making Fate She turned from the window once more, and the odor of coffee reached her it seemed to be hateful to her; she went swiftly and closed the door which led from the dining-room into the little kitchen, leaving the tiny coffee-pot to its fate. They were pretty rooms, sitting and dining-room, with folding doors between. The doors were rolled back out of sight, and the portieres so looped as to give a view of a dining-table daintily laid for two people, who must both have had very refined tastes. The napery was fine and fresh, the china delicate and the silver sterling. The Edmonds family had lived nearly always in a larger house than this; their table had been drawn out, often full length, and was wont to be surrounded by merry, happy people.
