Excerpt from The Heir of Sherburne When Gertrude Maurice stepped out of the handsomely appointed train on the main-line, and after half an hours tedious waiting, entered the second-rate branch line, the whole world seemed to change to her. She had kept up her delusion as long as possible. The well-dressed, prosperous looking people, the middle-aged women with an air of good breeding and knowledge of the world, the young women with the aspect of being satisfactorily settled in life, the buds of one or two seasons who had not yet left off their winsome smiles, men of conscious experience, young fellows radiating a society atmosphere of exclusiveness, and other young fellows plain and happy, starting on a summer vacation. What a different aspect this way train presented. The green plush was dingy and faded. There were not many passengers at this hour. Several women with unruly children, country-looking men who stared about vacantly, a few showily gowned girls with unmodulated voices, and an air of having had a good time somewhere, and willing the rest of the world should know it and envy them.
