Excerpt from The Starling The little Sarah, hovering at the gap in the hedge, had hotly wondered if any one wanted anything on earth as she wanted company. She always saw it as a bright tide, pouring in past the green barrier to spread over the lawn and leap up the steps, streaming through the silent house, even into the sacred library, filling the air with laughing sounds, and, when it retreated, leaving some glorious little visitor up in her own room, that they might whisper, whisper, half the night, with smothered giggles and a pretense of silence when a maternal hand thumped the wall. Sarah composed notes of invitation, set imaginary tea tables, dramatized wild games with the piano at full blast, candy pulls, charades, pillow fights - little girls who walked with their arms about her, boys who last-tagged her on the steps - oh, loving, riotous, high-hearted Company!
