MY LITTLE SISTER
She is very fair, my little sister.
I mean, not only she is good to look upon. I mean that she is white and golden, and always seemed to bring a shining where she went.
I have not been able, I see, to set down these few sentences without touching the quick.
I have used the present and then fallen to the past. I say is and then, she seemed. And I do not know whether I should have written was or seems.
And that, in sum, is my story.
We were both so young when we went to Duncombe that even I cannot clearly remember what life was like before.
