Excerpt from The Story of Avis
"And all I saw was on the sunny ground,
The flying shadow of an unseen bird."
What was it about her?
Coy Bishop at the Poetry Club that night, while a theological student with a cold in his head was declaiming from the second canto, sat perversely wondering. It was becoming to Coy to wonder; she did not very often, - being a blonde, with a small mouth and happy eyes.
She changed the accent of her thoughts as they pursued her; out of irresistible sympathy, perhaps with the reader, who experienced some elocutionary difficulty in changing his; though, indeed, she found her own revery so much more to the purpose just then than her desire for literary culture, that she conceived a distaste for the 3 roung gentleman as a tiresome interruption, and hoped that some of the girls would refuse him before the winter was over.
