Excerpt from The Mystery of the Hills It was at that time of the year when the shy feathered denizens of the forest were building their nests, when the orchards were heavy in bloom, and the wild Kennedia purpled every road and rough bush track. The little girl's fingers ached to undo the stiff strings of her bonnet. Annette tried to catch her sister's eyes to ask if she might, but her sister had evidently forgotten that she was sitting there - so straight, too - on her high, stiff-backed chair. Her sister and the lady whom they were visiting had been talking a very long time, the little girl thought. She had grown tired of gazing at the pictures and the big vases in the fireplace, all gold, with wonderful birds circling round them. Even the beautiful collection of wax flowers standing under their glass shade in the centre of the round table failed to enthrall her any longer.
