Excerpt from Little Fishers: And Their Nets But that seemed ages ago to the poor woman who was left this morning in the wretched lit tle room with the door Slammed between her and her husband. She did not look as though She had life enough left to make words about anything. She sat in a limp heap in one of the broken chairs, her bared arms lying between the folds of a soiled and ragged apron. Not an old woman, yet her hair was gray, and her cheeks were faded, and her eyes looked as though they had not closed in quiet restful sleep for months. She had not combed her hair that morning; and thin and faded as it was, it hung in straggling locks about her face.
