Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Margaret Morton, Vol. 1 of 3 The interior of Mrs. Archibald's house accorded with the spirit that presided over the arrangement of her gardens. Everything was fresh and new, excepting the china and pictures, some of which were very old. Of the manufactured articles, as of the objects of flirt/12, it may be said everything was too good to be gaudy. Though each individual piece of furniture was substantially good, the whole arrangement wore rather an air of tranquil elegance than of mere material comfort. Mrs. Archibald was leading a very quiet life. She was a widow; and her health was not robust. In her husband' s time she had travelled, and seen a great deal of the world; but the circle of her immediate acquaintance was now narrowed to two old and two young friends. The elderly friends were Miss Maunsell and Mr. Wynum; the younger, Margaret Morton, Mrs. Archibald's niece, who lived with her.
