Ben Weatherstaff took up his spade again and began to dig. "There was ten year' ago," he mumbled. "I should like to see them," said Mary. "Where is the green door? There must be a door somewhere." Ben drove his spade deep and looked as uncompanionable as he had looked when she first saw him. "There was ten year' ago, but there isn't now," he said. "No door!" cried Mary. "There must be." "None as any one can find, an' none as is any one's business. Don't you be a meddlesome wench an' poke your nose where it's no cause to go. Here, I must go on with my work. Get you gone an' play you. I've no more time." And he actually stopped digging, threw his spade over his shoulder and walked off, without even glancing at her or saying good-by. Octavo, original cloth, pictorial dust-jacket lacks the lower third of the spine panel; traces of old ownership…

Since every one hath, every one, one shade, and you, but one, can every shadow lend.

In all external grace you have some part, but you like none, none you, for constant heart.' SONNET 53. Folio, bound in full black morocco with gilt decoration, 35 cm x 44.5 cm, 47 pages, 25 lithographs, a near fine copy.
