The opening
I
The day broke gray and dull. The clouds hung heavily, and there was a rawness in the air that suggested snow. A woman servant came into a room in which a child was sleeping and drew the curtains. She glanced mechanically at the house opposite, a stucco house with a portico, and went to the child’s bed.
“Wake up, Philip,” she said.
She pulled down the bedclothes, took him in her arms, and carried him downstairs. He was only half awake.
“Your mother wants you,” she said.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
