Chapter XXXVII
Lounsbury was waiting with the carriage, and on that still, sweet April evening we drove him to Stormfield much as we had driven him two years before. Now and then he mentioned the apparent backwardness of the season, for only a few of the trees were beginning to show their green. As we drove into the lane that led to the Stormfield entrance, he said: “Can we see where you have built your billiard-room?” The gable showed above the trees, and I pointed it out to him.
