The Sunday after Christmas found Mr. Cortlandt kept in the house by / a cold. Beth sought him out in the evening and found him beside his / library fire. The logs burned cheerily, snapping and crackling; the red / flames and impish sparks looked most alluring on this cold night.
Beth came across the thick carpet without a sound of a footfall; in / her hand she carried the miniature which Aunt Rebecca had sent her at / Christmas.
