- Pen Picture 18-5-1937By the fire sat a neat old lady.
The old lady was dressed in black and a white apron dotted with black spots. The old lady looked very old and her face was seamed and wrinkled and her hair was as white as snow.
She was about seventy years old. She had a beautiful little kitchen with a dresser filled with shining delph. There was a window facing south and there was a pair of curtains coloured green the lovely sun was shining.
