It is rearward where what was formerly a dining-room that a huge, screened-in veranda, very whitely lighted, juts suddenly out, and a showy hallway, bordered in potted palms, leads off that. Here Discretion dares lift her lids to rove the gravel drive for who comes there. In a car shaped like a motor-boat and as low to the ground Mr.
Sometimes when George and Lutie went off to bed and left her sitting alone on the dark, screened-in veranda, looking down from the hills across the sombre Hudson, she almost cried aloud in her desolation. Of what profit was love to her? Was she always to go on being alone with the love that consumed her? The hot, dry summer wore away.
Far out, above the waters, a solitary gull circled with slow, sweeping curves, and now and again planed to the surface of the sea and struck from it a faint white spark. On the screened-in veranda, the members of the family, which now included Rose, sat or reclined, in attitudes of indolence, the men in negligee shirts and white flannels, the women in light dresses.
They high-stepped through the gloom, and finally, with firmer step, up the gravel walk and into the white-lighted, screened-in porch. Three waiters ran toward their entrance. A woman with a bare V of back facing them, and three plumes that dipped to her shoulders, turned square in her chair. "Hi, Charley. Hi, Loo!" "H'lo, Jess!"
What of it?" "What of it? Why, I will. When?" "Do you mean it?" asked Lewis. Vi nodded. "Name your own time." "To-morrow," said Vi, "at ten."

Promptly at ten Vi appeared.
When, one spring morning, a week before the Friendship Carnival, she passed down Daphne Street with her plaintive, musical "Busy, busy, busy ..." Doctor June and the young Reverend Arthur Bliss sat on Doctor June's screened-in porch discussing a deficit in the Good Shepherd's Orphans' Home fund for the fiscal year.
I got no patience with women who indulge themselves with nervous breakdowns. I never thought, Hattie, you had nothing like that in you." Her voice was rising now in hysteria, slipping up frequently beyond her control. "If you do, I can't stand it! I can't stand it, I.W.!" He peered at her in the starlight that came down through the screened-in top of the sleeping-porch.
Upham has a house there, a real nice one, with a screened-in porch and everything.... Of course you know they've put in the sewer now, and there's lots of modern bath-rooms, and almost everybody has a Ford. We would have bought one, but planning to come away so soon Oh yes, and they've added a fire-escape to the school-house."
His sister at his side offered "the gentlemen" a fine assortment of bows, with varicolored bow-strings. Bows and arrows mated, the hunters marched in pairs to the screened-in breakfast room, looking out over the river. At each end of the table was a chafing-dish, and in the center was a huge cabbage surmounted by two natural-looking bunnies.
We clambered up narrow boxed stairs that turned three ways; we walked down a narrow passage; turned to the right; walked down another narrow passage, climbed three steps to open a door; promptly climbed three steps down again; crossed a screened-in bridge to another wing; ducked through a passageway, and so arrived. The ranch house was like that. Parts of it were built out on stilts.
