On A Dusty Road PDF Download

Excerpt from The Dusty Road The Andersons' house stood near the Schuylkill, and only a few hundred yards from the terminus of a railroad. The wind seemed to make it the object of special attentions; the loose window-frames rattled ominously, the crazy furnaceflue refused to draw; through tiny cracks in the neglected walls the locomotive dust came filtering in, and covered everything with a coat of depressing grey. A sudden gust tore the rickety kitchen door ofi its hinges; and Mrs. Anderson, stand ing over the carpenter who was repairing it so that she could make sure he was working all the time she paid him for and not letting her in for unnecessary extravagance, calculated ruefully that now she would not be able to afford the new dress she had planned to wear to Mrs. Coxe's bridge party.
