Explore "Phil's Darling" by Sylvanus Cobb Jr. on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Philip Rushwood came down to Greyland, in the early spring time, and hired two rooms of Aunt Betty Warren, and engaged board with her. Phil was an artist, and a good one. He was in his thirtieth year, but he did not look it. He was a bright-faced, cheery, fun-loving fellow, and would pass for a handsome man. His father had left him a moderate fortune; so his work was a matter of pleasure and satisfaction rather than of necessity.
He had hired the only two rooms Aunt Betty had to spare, one for a studio and reading room, and the other for a sleeping room. The old lady must keep one apartment--a nice one--for a spare room, in which to put a chance visitor; and herself and niece occupied the remainder of the dormitory of the small cottage.
