Explore "Round the Corner in Gay Street" by Grece S. Richmond on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

It was a hot morning in early July, and Nancy, after running into the house to report her return to her mother, joined Shirley in a shady corner under the shrubbery, which had become a favourite trysting-place of the two children.
