"She led him to a vine-clad porch where easy willow chairs and tables, a few books and a bit of sewing made it seem almost like an open-air living room.
'How cosy this is!' he said, as he settled down in a big willow armchair and put his head back against a convenient cushion.
'We like it,' said the girl with a quick glance around to see if the little sister who was supposed to put this room in order the first thing in the morning had done her work."
--Grace Livingston Hill, Daphne Deane
This makes me want to pick up a GLH volumne before bed tonight.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so inviting! The other day at the library someone dropped off "The Girl in the Woods" - I grabbed it. I hope it's one of the good ones.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! You've inspired me to read a book by this author I've seen in the bookstores, but never actually read.
ReplyDeleteVery inviting indeed. Through you Anna, I have discovered Grace Livingston Hill and have been very blessed reading her books. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Thank you for re-introducing me to GLH! Her books are lovely and transport me to a gentler time...
ReplyDeleteIt's a stormy day here. What a nice read to fill in the gloom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote! I enjoyed GLH in my girlhood years.
