The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman
Excerpt from The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman
Blossom week in Maryland! The air steeped in perfume and soft as a caress; the sky a luminous gray inter woven with threads of silver, flakings of pearl and tiny scales of opal.
All the hill-sides smothered in bloom - of peach, cherry, and pear; in waves, wind rows and drifts of pink and ivory. Here and there, fluffy white, a single tree upheld like a bride's bouquet ready for my lady's hand when she goes to meet her lord.

wow, from the title, i was expecting so little,, it was a very well written story about the life of a painter artist a hundred fifty years ago but the moral holds true even today, perhaps more so in these times of moral decay where the almighty dollar comes first. not so, the good person always ends up the better off.
