She had come to this place to get away from it, and here was everybody in its different stages. Even Mrs. Fisher seemed to have been brushed by one of the many feathers of Love’s wing, and at dinner was different— full of concern because Mr. Briggs wouldn’t eat, and her face when she turned to him all soft with motherliness. Scrap looked up at the pine-tree motionless among stars. Beauty made you love, and love made you beautiful. . .” Summary: The story follows four women in England around the 1920s who leave their rainy environments to go on holiday in Italy.
