Excerpt from Chanting Wheels: A Novel Raleigh swung up the narrow road from the trolley, and sniffed the smoky air with a zest of anticipation tempered by the cinders of reality. Then he laughed gaily. After all, it would be a lark. He passed some workmen, with a flash of white teeth and a flare of color so out of keeping with the sootstained sky and the drab tones of road and factory that two of them turned and stared after him. He wondered what his uncle would say, the uncle whom he had not seen for three years, and whom he had only seen five times. The last was just before he had gone to France. He remembered, smiling to himself, the first time this uncle had come to the house - a tall, finely-built man, with black hair even then frosty and a square face with the angular jaws and mouth of a conqueror. To Raleigh's twelve-year-old curiosity, he was all that was beautiful in strength, and he had loved him on sight.
