CHAPTER ONE My First Winter in Chicago
My First Winter in Chicago
“Well, Mother,” I said as I took my seat at the breakfast table the second day after our Thanksgiving dinner, “I must return to Chicago. I have some lectures to deliver and besides I must get back to my writing.”
She made no objection to my announcement but her eyes lost something of their happy light. “When will you come again?” she asked after a pause.
“Almost any minute,” I replied assuringly. “You must remember that I’m only a few hours away now. I can visit you often. I shall certainly come up for Christmas. If you need me at any time send me word in the afternoon and I’ll be with you at breakfast.”
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
