There was no
applause, but he had expected none. Senator Dorman was already
saying “Mr. President?” and there was a stir in the crowded
galleries, and an anticipatory moving of chairs among the Senators.
In the press gallery the reporters bunched together their scattered
papers and inspected their pencil-points with earnestness. Dorman
was the last speaker of the Senate, and he was on the popular side
of it. It would be the great speech of the session, and the
prospect was cheering after a deluge of railroad and insurance
bills. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

A drawing by
Elenore Plaisted Abbott. Standing by an open window, a woman wearing
a long grey shawl leans down toward a small girl whom she embraces
with her arms. The little girl has her arms wrapped around her
mother's waist, and leans back to look up into her mother's face.
There is a pot of daffodils on the windowsill.

looking huts with shuttered windows and old walls pressing on each other
and leaning forward. The roofs of these time-worn habitations are full
of holes, and have been patched here and there with laths; from underneath
them project mildewed beams, which are shaded by the dusty-leaved
elder-trees and crooked white willows—pitiable flora of those suburbs
inhabited by the poor. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
