Excerpt
It was what in his own mind Dr. Fairchild always called “ the hour between ": that pleasant twilit interval when, the work of the afternoon being over, and dinner and the duties and diversions of the evening yet to come, one may pause to savor life. It is a time to walk city streets, if you are of an observant turn of mind, mingling with the crowds, and watching the lights come on; or, if yours be the domestic turn of mind, to sit a few minutes with your wife before your own lights are turned on, and hear what the bairns have been about today.
