Excerpt from The Gossip Shop Pauline Westcott, who was half an inhabitant and half a stranger, believed that this continuous, soft-falling mois ture worked upon every one there a sort of Wendlebury change; so that the town and people, and even the very cats and dogs, were in pleasant harmony. But she re mained unaware how far this process had gone in her own case, or she would have laughed at herself for becoming quite excited about the non-arrival of Chubb's cab. All her early girlhood had been spent in a London office, where she determined to excel and did excel, chaining her spirit to her desk and following generally the bright exam ple of the Will 0' the Wisp that would be a light outside a pork-butcher's shop because it had developed a con science and wanted to be of some real, practical use in the world.
