A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Louise opened her eyes she stared dreamily up at the slight abrasion in the shingle roof through which morning blinked. There were not many of these informal skylights, for the roof was not an old one. But there were a few, as there are likely to be in most summer cottages. When there was a violent downpour one had to hustle around distributing pans and kettles to catch an often ambitious drip. But this morning there was no rain. Louise spretty face was not in danger of an unsolicited bath. It was a radiant summer dawn. For a moment she wondered how she had happened to wake so early. The July birds were all chattering in the woods. But why should she waken out of, deep slumber unsummoned? Presently however, the reason for this phenomenon flashed vividly. Downstairs in the cottage living room, on the chimney-piece, stood an old Dutch clock. This clock possessed a kind of wiry, indignant tick, and a voice, when it was time to speak, full of a jerky, twanging spite. Louise could hear the sharp ticking. Then there came a little whirr like a very wheeze of decrepitude followed by an angry striking. One, two, three, four.
