The Mansion

- Genre: Short Stories
Description
This is a short fiction story. There was an air of calm and reserved opulence about the Weightman mansion that spoke not of money squandered, but of wealth prudently applied. Standing on a comer of the Avenue no longer fashionable for residence, it looked upon the swelling tide of business with an expression of complacency and half-disdain.

5By nycowgirl2011This book is hands-down great. I don't condone the apparent emphasis of "good works", (it's almost catholic), but the general concept is really good.
