Excerpt from Sleeping Fires: A Novel
In this residence section the sidewalks were also wooden and uneven and the streets muddy in winter and dusty in summer, but the houses, some of which had come round the Horn, were large, simple, and stately. Those on the three long streets had deep gardens before them, with willow trees and oaks above the ¿ower beds, quaint ugly statues, and fountains that were sometimes dry. The narrower houses of South Park crowded one another about the oval enclosure and their common garden was the smaller oval of green and roses.
