Explore "The Dorrance Domain" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Though Dorothy enjoyed the fun of the motor-boat and the roof-garden, and was always happy whether working or playing, yet perhaps she liked best of all, to lie in her hammock of a summer afternoon, and read or day-dream as she looked across the lake and watched the shadows on the distant hills.
On these occasions she felt sure she could be a poet, if she only knew how to express properly the fancies that danced through her brain.
