It was winter -- cold and snow and ice and naked trees and leaden
clouds and stinging wind. The house was an ancient mansion on an
old street in that city of culture which has given to the history
of our nation -- to education, to religion, to the sciences, and to
the arts -- so many illustrious names. In the changing years,
before the beginning of my story, the woman's immediate friends and
associates had moved from the neighborhood to the newer and more
fashionable districts of a younger generation. In that city of her
father's there were few of her old companions left. There were
fewer who remembered. The distinguished leaders in the world of art
and letters, whose voices had been so often heard within the walls
of her home, had, one by one, passed on; leaving their works and
their names to their children. The children, in the greedy rush of
these younger times, had too readily forgotten the woman who, to
the culture and genius of a passing day, had been hostess and
friend.
