Some Memories Of Old Haverhill PDF Download

Excerpt from Some Memories of Old Haverhill: In Massachusetts The door that opens into the room of the past in unlocked with the smallest of keys, and swings open to the gentlest of pressures. A faded silk purse, starred with silver beads and infolded at either end by a silver sliding ring to hold fast its treasures, lying before me brings back from the years that are gone the one from whose silken-mitted hand it swung. I see her walking adown the fragrant, flowery road of a far-away yesterday, her leghorn bonnet with a wreath of flowers beneath its brim crowning her banded dusky-gold hair, while its broad ribbons are tied in an expansive bow beneath her dimpled chin. The white Cashmere shawl is draped to disclose at the throat the broad lace collar clasped with a cameo pin, and the shawl itself is held, where its folds meet just below the bosom, by an arabesqued bar of gold.
