Excerpt from A Matter of Taste: A Novel
AT the close of a sultry day a merry party sat upon a prayer-rug spread out upon the steps of a great white house. It was in a mid land city of phenomenal growth where every thing is constructed upon a grand scale. On one side, a wonderful park is laid out along the brink of a blue, inland sea the ambitious dreams of young architects are everywhere realized in piles of chiseled stone, and the freshly laid asphalt makes the wide avenue like a bit of Paris transplanted here - and suf tering no great loss from the operation.
