Sinópse: Excerpt from In the House of Her Friends The door of one of the buildings at the other end of the campus opened and shut with a click as the tall figure of the professor of engineering came out of his recitation room. He stood a moment to withdraw his key from the lock and then came slowly across the grass, so lately freed from snow-drifts, walking with the swing of a cavalry officer and taking the short cut to his own house, which brought him, in the course of time, past Sylvia’s window. There he stopped and took off his soft felt hat, lingering to talk a few moments in the flattering sun light of the spring afternoon, and Sylvia, smiling down into his handsome narrow face, and noticing the flecks of gray in his dark waves of hair, and the clouded look in his blue, heavy-lidded eyes, knew that the winter had gone hard with him and forbore to ask after his wife.
