always did, Wrayford reflected, when the small fry from Highfield
came to dine. He, Cobham Stilling, who had to find his bearings,
keep to his level, in the big, heedless, oppressive world of New
York, dilated and grew vast in the congenial medium of Highfield.
The Red House was the biggest house of the Highfield summer colony,
as Cobham Stilling was its biggest man. No one else within a
radius of a hundred miles (on a conservative estimate) had as many
horses, as many greenhouses, as many servants, and assuredly no one
else had two motors, or a motor-boat for the lake. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Park
into Fifth Avenue, she divined her son's tall figure walking
ahead
of her in the twilight. His long stride covered the ground more
rapidly than usual, and she had a premonition that, if he were
going home at that hour, it was because he wanted to see
her. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
